The first implant of a Neuralink chip in a human was performed on Sunday, and the patient is "recovering well. Initial results show promising detection of neuronal spikes."
Elon Musk announced it on X
Neuralink implants aim to revolutionize the brain through chips capable of helping those with neurological problems and traumatic injuries by reading the waves that celebrate them.
In May, Musk's company announced that it had received the green light from the Food and Drug Administration to conduct the first tests on humans.
Recruitment of volunteers began at the end of last year.
Neuralink has already conducted extensive studies on implants in animals, drawing criticism from many activists who say the company has abused animal rights by violating the Animal Welfare Act, the law that regulates how researchers can treat and experiment on certain animals .
