Neuralink is testing its implant to give paralyzed patients the ability to use digital devices by thinking alone, a prospect that could help people with spinal cord injuries
Elon Musk’s brain-chip startup, Neuralink, seeks to enroll three patients to evaluate its device in a study that is expected to take several years to complete, according to details on the U.S. government’s database of clinical trials.
Neuralink’s study is estimated to have a primary completion date of 2026, with the full study expected to be complete in 2031. According to eligibility criteria posted on the database, patients must have limited mobility without improvement for at least one year, with a life expectancy greater than or equal to 12 months.
The Wall Street Journal reported earlier this month that more than 1,000 quadriplegics had signed up for Neuralink’s patient registry.
