Neuralink Seeks Volunteers Under 40 for First-in-Human Brain Chip Implant Trial

Elon Musk’s company, Neuralink, is recruiting volunteers for its first clinical trial. Participants must consent to having a portion of their skull surgically removed to allow a robot to implant a series of electrodes and ultra-fine wires into the brain. Once the robotic procedure is complete, the cranial defect will be covered with a computer chip roughly the size of a quarter, which will remain in place for several years. The aim is to analyze and read the participants’ brain activity, then wirelessly transmit the data to a nearby laptop or tablet. (Sina Finance)Original Article Link
