Neuralink allowed to test its brain implants on humans

An implant could well revolutionize the way humans think and act. Already tested on animals, this cerebral implant makes it possible by thought to control equipment remotely. Neuralink, one of billionaire Elon Musk’s companies, has been developing this technology since 2016, which has just reached a new level. US health authorities are giving the green light to test these brain implants on humans.

Helping people who are paralyzed or suffering from neurological diseases

“We are delighted to have received approval from the United States Medicines Agency to launch our first-in-man clinical study!” reacted Neuralink on Twitter. The objective of the Californian company is to first help people who are paralyzed or suffering from neurological diseases. Ultimately, the company wants to make these implants accessible to comfortable surgery. People could then buy an implant to endow their brain with computer power.
