Neuralink marks milestone as Elon Musk announces successful brain chip implant in human

Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk revealed that Neuralink has successfully implanted its brain chip in a human patient, who is reported to be recovering well.

The pioneering procedure, part of Neuralink's efforts to develop brain-computer interfaces, represents a significant achievement for the company. The early results show promise in detecting spiking neurons, an important step forward in clinical trials that aim to enable people with quadriplegia or ALS to control computers with their thoughts.

Neuralink's ambitious goals include creating interfaces that could potentially enable users to experience alternate realities, although the company is also under investigation for alleged violations of animal welfare laws.
