Elon Musk's Neuralink has successfully implanted its first brain-chip device in a human patient, aimed at assisting those with severe paralysis in controlling external devices using neural signals. The patient, who has been paralyzed for 14 years, is reportedly recovering well after the procedure. The implant, known as Telepathy, has demonstrated a grasp accuracy of over 90% in helping the patient regain partial motor skills. Despite the potential benefits, the development of Neuralink's brain-chip has raised ethical concerns, as reports have surfaced regarding the death of 1,500 animals, including test monkeys subjected to 'extreme suffering' during experiments in the company's lab. Critics have raised questions about the lack of transparency surrounding the trial details, including the number of participants and the expected completion date.
A takeaway of the Neuralink study, which I didn't appreciate until now is: It's the PRIME study: Precise Robotically Implanted Brain-Computer Interface. The robotic insertion is a key part of the study. As with many Musk projects, scalability is key, even at step 1.
