Elon Musk says Neuralink installs brain implant in first patient

[Farooqji]

The ambition is to supercharge human capabilities, treat neurological disorders like ALS or Parkinson’s, and maybe one day achieve a symbiotic relationship between humans and artificial intelligence.

“The first human received an implant from Neuralink yesterday and is recovering well,” Musk said in a post on X, formerly Twitter.

“Initial results show promising neuron spike detection,” he added.

The start-up last year said it won approval from US regulators to test its brain implants in people.

Neuralink’s technology will mainly work through an implant called the “Link” — a device about the size of five stacked coins that is placed inside the human brain through invasive surgery.

Beyond terrifying. The possibilities of implanting impulses, direction. Pre-coded manipulations. Never!

I think this one goes WAY beyond that.

it is amazing👍👍👍👍👍

Guys We are already controlled by governments and big powers in every aspect of our life, we are just acting in the game of democracy and freedom.

It can not get worse. Think about the huge effect of it on the lives of blind, paraplegic, ALS patients and hopefully one day for PD patients.

Exciting and with big money behind some hopefully brilliant minds.
