Neuralink has been in operation since 2016, with the goal of developing a chip that can help reverse the effects of brain and spinal cord injuries so that paralyzed people can move again.
In February 2021, Musk announced that he had successfully implanted a chip into a monkey's brain; In April, the company showed a monkey playing video games with the "power of thought." And on May 26, 2023, Neuralink announced that it had received approval from the FDA to conduct the first human clinical trial.
