The US Food and Drug Administration has given Elon Musk's Neuralink permission to implant its device — an experimental "chip" designed to be embedded in the brain — in another patient.
Noland Arbaugh was the first (and so far only) human to have one of these "chips" implanted in their brain, and he is now able to interact with computer interfaces using only his mind.
Following the success of this first experiment, the Wall Street Journal reports that Neuralink is now allowed to implant its "chip" in another patient. Notably, last week, Musk's company posted a message on the social network X saying it was looking for more candidates.
Redefining the boundaries of human capability requires pioneers.
