A company founded by Elon Musk is developing a neuralink device that will be implanted in the brain and wirelessly transmit brain activity to a computer. It can be used to cure brain disorders such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s if it is successful. Neuralink has been tested on animals so far, but Musk has said that the company intends to start implanting its chips soon.

Neuralink are many years behind the leaders in the field. Take a look at Blackrock Neurotech.
