Neuralink gets nod for study of brain implants in humans
brain-implant company Neuralink on Thursday said the US Food and Drug Administration has given the green light to its first-in-human clinical trial, a critical milestone after earlier struggles to gain approval.
Musk envisions brain implants could cure a range of conditions including obesity, autism, depression and schizophrenia as well as enabling web browsing and telepathy. He made headlines late last year when he said he was so confident in the devices’ safety that he would be willing to implant them in his children.
