Neuralink, the brain implant startup founded by Elon Musk, is actively seeking a second test subject for its innovative device. The company recently made an announcement on X, encouraging quadriplegics to apply for participation in another trial.
This call for a new test subject comes on the heels of Neuralink's initial human trial, where a chip was successfully implanted in the first participant. However, just a week following the implantation, the company encountered an issue with the threads that connect the device to the individual's brain.
Neuralink's groundbreaking device is designed to capture electrical signals emitted by the brain and translate them into actionable commands. This technology holds the potential to revolutionize the lives of individuals with disabilities, offering the prospect of enabling blind individuals to regain their sight or empowering paralyzed individuals to operate electronic devices such as phones and computers.
