Neuralink Begins Testing Brain Chips for Paralyzed Individuals

September 24, 2023

Elon Musk's company Neuralink has started recruiting volunteers to test brain chips. Neuralink recently received permission to recruit volunteers and is now looking for people with paralyzed hands and legs (tetraplegia) due to spinal cord injuries or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. The volunteers will have a chip implanted in the area of the brain responsible for movement, allowing them to control a computer mouse or keyboard with their thoughts.
