FREMONT, Calif. — One of Elon Musk's lesser-known endeavors, the brain implant startup Neuralink, took a major step forward Thursday when the FDA cleared the company to begin in-human clinical trials.
Neuralink's brain-machine interface device uses small electrodes implanted into the brain to record the electrical activity of neurons, according to a breakdown on theblog. This information is then sent to a computer for analysis, which uses it to control external devices such as a robotic arm or a computer cursor.
In addition to helping patients with paralysis, experts believe brain-computer interfaces like Neuralink could someday help treat maladies like blindness and mental illness, according to. Musk has expressed his intent for Neuralink to explore these future use cases, as well as potential applications for healthy people.
