More than 45 trials involving brain-computer interfaces are under way, according to a U.S. database of studies, with efforts aimed at helping treat brain disorders, overcoming brain injuries and other uses
Elon Musk, pictured in October, 2024, says Neuralink hopes to implant the experimental devices in 20 to 30 more people this year.Elon Musk said a third person has received an implant from his brain-computer interface company Neuralink, one of many groups working to connect the nervous system to machines.
The second recipient – who has a spinal cord injury and got the implant last summer – was playing video games with the help of the device and learning how to use computer-aided design software to create 3-D objects. The first patient, also paralyzed after a spinal cord injury, described how it helped him play video games and chess.often attract notice, many other companies and research groups are working on similar projects.
Still, he said, the advantages of Neuralink’s approach have yet to be shown, and some competitors have eclipsed the company in other ways. For example, Rao said companies such as Synchron, Blackrock Neurotech and Onward Medical are already conducting BCI trials on people “using either less invasive methods or more versatile approaches” that combine neural recording with stimulation.
“We need to really support high-risk, high-reward endeavours. This is clearly high-risk, high-reward. We don’t know how safe it’s going to be. We don’t know how feasible it’s going to be,” he said.Neuralink announced in 2023 that it had gotten permission from U.S. regulators to begin testing its device in people.
Redberg said the FDA tends to be involved in all steps from recruiting patients to testing devices to analyzing data. She said this regulatory process prioritizes safety.
