“The first human received a Neuralink implant yesterday and is recovering well,” Elon Musk posted on X.

“The first results show promising detection of neuronal spikes,” he adds.

“Our mission: Create a generalized brain interface to restore autonomy to those whose medical needs are not met today and unleash the human potential of tomorrow,” announces the Neuralink website.

“Our brain-computer interface is fully implantable, aesthetically invisible and designed to allow you to control a computer or mobile device wherever you go,” it says.

The entrepreneur added that Neuralink's first product is called Telepathy. This will allow a person to control their phone and computer through the power of thought. “The first users will be people who have lost control of their limbs,” Elon Musk said.

Neuralink is recruiting candidates: “If you would like to know if you might be eligible for current and/or future Neuralink clinical trials, consider joining our patient registry.”
