NEW YORK (AP) — According to Elon Musk, the first human received an implant from his computer-brain interface company Neuralink over the weekend.
Neuralink reposted Musk's Monday post on X, but did not publish any additional statements acknowledging the human implant.
In its September announcement, Neuralink said the wires would be surgically placed in a region of the brain that controls movement intention.
The initial goal of the so-called brain computer interface is to give people the ability to control a computer cursor or keyboard using their thoughts alone.
There are more than 40 brain computer interface trials underway, according to clinicaltrials.gov.
