Musk's Neuralink Brain-Computer Interface Project already has implant prototypes, and clinical trials are imminent

IT House News on January 26, according to foreign media TechRadar reported that Elon Musk's ideal is not only to develop Tesla electric vehicles, immigrate to Mars, but also have the ideal of developing brain-computer interfaces. The Neuralink Brain-Computer Interface company he founded has recently made new progress and has already had implant prototypes.

Brain-computer interfaces often appear in science fiction movies, which can receive neural signals from the human brain, input them to computers and other devices, and only rely on the brain to control devices, input text, etc. In addition, some patients with spinal cord injuries can also use brain-computer interfaces for input, manipulation of prosthetics, and so on.

IT House understands that Recent information from Neuralink suggests that the company may already have a prototype of the implant that has been tested on animals. Foreign media predict that at present, it seems that the company has the next step of clinical trials and test them on people.

Musk's Neuralink Company also recently released a new job posting that includes BMI hardware and software engineers, perhaps in preparation for making brain-computer interface implants.
