Brain chip to start human trials in six months: MuskReutersElon Musk said on Wednesday he expects a wireless brain chip developed by his company Neuralink to begin human clinical trials in six months, after the company missed earlier timelines he set. “We want to be extremely careful and certain that it will work well before putting a device into a human,” Musk said during a much-awaited public update on the device. Neuralink’s last public presentation, more than a year ago, involved a monkey with a brain chip that played a computer game by thinking alone. Neuralink has repeatedly missed internal deadlines to gain FDA approval to start human trials, current and former employees have said. It received US regulatory clearance for human trials last year and has completed studies in four people in Australia.
