December 19, 2022

Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos have invested in Synchron, which is developing an implantable brain chip. Synchron announced that it has raised $75 million in investments, including from Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos. The company is building a Switch computer that can be implanted in the human brain. This should help in the treatment of paralyzed patients. Synchron is a direct competitor to Elon Musk's Neuralink. Some experts note that Synchron has moved further than Neuralink. The company has already implanted the chip in two patients and will conduct tests during the year under the supervision of doctors.
