Google and Meta have strong political bias: Musk
New Delhi: Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has announced that his brain-computer interface company Neuralink has successfully achieved its first human implant, and the test subject is recovering well.
Musk said that the company's first product, called Telepathy, would bring control of a phone or computer just by thinking. Neuralink last year received the US Food and Drugs Administration (FDA) approval for human trials and said in September it was looking for its first test subjects for the six-year initial trial.
"The first human received an implant from @Neuralink yesterday and is recovering well," Musk posted on X late on Monday.
"Initial results show promising neuron spike detection," he added. The first Neuralink product is called Telepathy, informed Musk.
According to the billionaire, it will enable control of your phone or computer, and through them almost any device, just by thinking.
"Initial users will be those who have lost the use of their limbs. Imagine if Stephen Hawking could communicate faster than a speed typist or auctioneer. That is the goal," Musk further said.
