One of the projects that billionaire businessman Elon Musk has been working on for years is “Neuralink”. In its simplest terms, this project, which involves implanting a chip in a person’s brain, aims to take human life to a completely different point. The latest news about Neuralink reveals that the team has received approval for manned studies.
In the official statement made by the Neuralink team, it was stated that the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) gave approval for human testing. However, a claim made by Reuters a few months ago revealed that the FDA did not approve human testing of Neuralink last year. It is not known how or why the decision changed.
Although there is no official statement from the FDA, the Neuralink team is happy!
Neuralink made its statements on the subject on Twitter. In the statement, it was stated that there was a very serious cooperation with the FDA. The team also said that it will open applications for manned tests in the coming period.
Neuralink’s statement on Twitter:
We are excited to share that we have received FDA approval to launch our human clinical trials! This is the result of incredible work done by the Neuralink team in close collaboration with the FDA. It represents an important first step that will one day enable our technology to help many people. Applications for our clinical trial are not yet open. We’ll be announcing more about it soon!
What will Neuralink do by implanting a chip in the human brain?
Placing a chip in a person’s brain technically means you can program that person to do anything. The aim of Neuralink is to enable individuals who have lost their sight or movement abilities to regain a healthy life with the chips produced. Of course, this is not an easy thing to achieve. Neuralink has tested animals over the years, but when it comes to humans, it’s unclear what happens.
