Elon Musk says Neuralink plans to implant a human brain

Neuralink has yet to achieve its primary goal of implanting a computing device into the brain of a human. The company is already bounding ahead, aiming implants at other body parts, in typical fashion for an Elon Musk venture.

Musk revealed Wednesday night at the company's Fremont, California headquarters that they would work on two major products in addition to the brain-computer interface, which would need to be drilled into a person s skull and would initially be used to treat traumatic brain injuries. Neuralink is developing implants that can go into the spinal cord and possibly restore movement in someone who is suffering from paralysis, and an ocular implant meant to improve or restore human vision.

As miraculous as that may sound, we are confident that it will be possible to restore full-body functionality to someone with a severed spinal cord, Musk said at the event. He said, " Even if they have never seen before, we are confident that they could see." This could be due to a conflict with your ad blocking or security software.
