Elon Musk says he’s confident enough about the future of brain-computer interface technology that he’s willing to hook himself up to one after human testing begins.
Neuralink may not be as famous as some of Musk’s other ventures, but the neurotechnology company he founded in 2016 is racing ahead to roll out human trials for its coin-sized brain implant, which could allow computers to decipher neural signals. For years, Musk has touted Neuralink’s potential to allow quadriplegic patients to control computers and mobile devices with their thoughts and potentially even restore motor function and cure neurological disorders.
