Musk said – will get a Neuralink implant installed in his brain, and a test was done on sheep, pigs, and monkey

Musk had claimed that its human trials would begin in six months and first of all blind and paralysis patients would be helped. Meanwhile, he said that this implant is completely ready. After getting approval, he will get a demo implant installed himself. Billionaire businessman Elon Musk has claimed that he will show the whole world the Neuralink implant. He said that this coin-like device would become a part of the brain in a jiffy, the person who gets it fitted would not even know when it got fitted.


Musk had claimed that its human trials would begin in six months and first of all blind and paralysis patients would be helped. Meanwhile, he said, this implant is completely ready. After getting approval, he will get a demo implant installed himself. His statement was tweeted by writer and journalist Ashley Wayne, then Musk confirmed – yes, he will get it installed. For now, Daniel Yoshor, a neurosurgeon and neuroscientist at the Perelman school of Medicine at the university of pennsylvania who has worked on such a device, said he was more impressed with the hardware than Musk claimed. However, it does not appear to have the ability to restore or dramatically enhance physical and mental abilities.

According to records filed with the US Department of Animal Husbandry and Agriculture, Musk's company has so far tested the Neuralink device on sheep, pigs, and monkeys. In 2020, Musk showed the brain movements of a pig with the help of Neuralink. At the same time, in 2021, a video was released claiming that after Neuralink was installed, the monkey was taught to play a video game named Pong. Research has been going on for decades on the technology of connecting the brain to the machine (computer) (brain-machine interface). After FDA approval in 2004, researchers implanted an antenna the size of a small aspirin pill into the brain, which connected via a wire to a computer. This neural interface is called the brain gate.
