“Neuralink says the ideal candidate is a quadriplegic under the age of forty; a human surgeon will remove a section of the skull, after which a seven-foot-tall robotic surgeon will implant a chip composed of 1,000 electrodes into the volunteer’s brain.”
(Amy Jo Underwood – The Sentinel) Neuralink, the brain implant company launched by Elon Musk, is asking for a volunteer to have a chip implanted into their skull by a robotic surgeon during the firm’s first clinical trial.
The company says that the ideal candidate is a quadriplegic under the age of forty; a human surgeon will remove a section of the skull, after which a seven-foot-tall robotic surgeon will implant a chip composed of 1,000 electrodes into the volunteer’s brain.
