Elon Musk’s Neuralink Gets FDA Green Light to Implant Brain Chips in More Humans

Neuralink, the brain-computer interface startup led by Elon Musk, has achieved another milestone as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) gave a green light for the company to implant its brain chip in a second person as soon as next month, the Wall Street Journal first reported today (May 20). The regulatory clearance follows Neuralink’s first human trial in January, which experienced malfunction post-implantation, but the company has proposed solutions to the issues in the next test.
