Elon Musk’s Neuralink Extends Human Brain Chip Experiments Again This is the third time Musk has extended the human trial for various reasons. Initially it was said that Neuralink would be tested in humans in 2020, but then it was extended to 2022 and now to 2023. Elon Musk also said that if given the chance, he would implant Neuralink chips in his brain.
Musk also announced that the US Food and Drug Administration’s procedures for human trials are almost complete. Musk shared the hope that within the next six months, experiments could be carried out by implanting Neuralink chips in humans. Neuralink’s stated goal is to build a device that can be implanted in the human brain. Neuralink aims to influence the human brain and movements by controlling this device through a computer. It is expected that this discovery will be a boon for those who are completely exhausted and suffering from rare diseases.
In 2019, Elon Musk announced that the Neuralink experiment had started on monkeys. In 2020, the experiment was extended to pigs. Last year, Neuralink also released footage of Neuralink-equipped monkeys playing ping pong. Animal lovers and organizations have come forward against such experiments on animals. During the Neuralink experiments, many of the animals were allegedly exhausted and died. Neuralink and Elon Musk were moving forward with their project despite such allegations.
There was also a large amount of protests and criticism against implanting chips directly into humans. This is one reason why Neuralink’s human trials have been delayed. A small part of the skull is removed and the Neuralink chip with tiny fibers is implanted directly into the brain. Neuralink vice president D.J. also talked about the robotic system that can attach up to 64 Neuralink fibers to the brain in 15 minutes. Seo said. Elon Musk claims that Neuralink is moving from the testing phase to the product launch phase.
