Elon Musk’s Neuralink is looking to start human trials of its brain chip in 2022.
‘We hope to have this in our first humans — which will be people that have severe spinal cord injuries like tetraplegics, quadriplegics — next year, pending FDA approval.
‘I think we have a chance of being able to allow someone who cannot walk or use their arms be able to walk again – but not naturally.’ - Elon Musk
On April 9, 2021, showed off its brain chip in a monkey, which allowed the animal to play a game of Pong using only its mind.
The device in the animal's brain recorded information about the neurons firing while it played the game, learning to predict the movements it would make.
‘Basically, the monkey looked normal, yet it is playing a video game telepathically, which I think is quite profound,’ Musk said during Monday’s livestream.
