Thank you CTOnews.com netizen Hello ah_rabbit clue delivery! Musk's brain-computer interface company Neuralink announced Thursday that it has received approval from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to launch its first human clinical study. This means Neuralink will implant their device into the human brain.

Neuralink tweeted Thursday: "We are excited to announce that we have received FDA approval to launch our first human clinical study! This is the result of amazing work by the Neuralink team working closely with the FDA, and an important first step toward the day when our technology can help many people. Our clinical trials have not yet started recruiting. We will be posting more information soon! "

Neuralink says human trial application has been approved by FDA Before this, Neuralink founder Musk said in November last year that Neuralink is still about six months away from the first human trial. This time, Musk delivered on his promise on time. Granting permission to conduct human trials is not as big a milestone as obtaining clinical trial results, but it is no ordinary trial. This means Neuralink is going to implant its device into the human brain.

It should be noted that Neuralink is not the first company to be approved to implant brain-computer interfaces in humans. Synchron received FDA approval in 2021 to begin trials in the United States and announced its first implanted brain-computer interface in the United States last July. In January, it published the results of an early study of four human patients in Australia.

Neuralink has also been accused of abusing monkeys in experiments that resulted in their deaths. Neuralink denies this. The FDA reportedly rejected Neuralink's human trial application in early 2022, listing "dozens of issues" the company needed to address.

So who would sign up for such an experiment, and why? A volunteer would be someone with important medical reasons? Someone who wants to draw the world's attention to Musk? Or Musk himself? Musk has claimed that he will implant the brain-computer interface device in his head at some point in the future, but the exact time is unknown.
