Elon Musk’s Neuralink prepares for another human implant


Elon Musk and other executives have provided an update on Neuralink. It plans to perform second human trial shortly.

The surgery was originally meant to take place in June but the intended trial participant experienced some health problems which delayed the procedure. Executive Dongjin ‘DJ’ Seo said during the live stream that “once you do the brain surgery it takes some time for the tissues to come in and anchor the threads in place, and once that happens, everything has been stable.” Though there has only been one participant in the trial so far, with another planned soon, Musk stated during the Neuralink update that he hopes to see numbers in the high single digits by the end of the year.
