The article discusses Neuralink’s recent milestone in its clinical trials. Elon Musk’s company successfully implanted a brain-computer interface device into a human for the first time. The implant, which is about the size of a coin, connects to the brain with tiny threads and is designed to interpret neural activity, allowing the user to control devices like smartphones and computers just by thinking[1][2].
The trial, named PRIME (Precise Robotically Implanted Brain-Computer Interface), uses a robot to insert the implant’s wires into the brain. The goal is to help people with quadriplegia due to spinal cord injuries or ALS regain control over digital devices[1][2].
