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. “We’ve got … three humans with Neuralinks and all are working well,

Elon Musk also said the Neuralink has upgraded the devices with more electrodes, higher bandwidth and longer battery life.

Neuralink’s three implants are part of its ongoing Prime study, which is evaluating the safety of Neuralink’s brain device in individuals with quadriplegia. In September 2024, the company announced the approval of a second study known as Convoy, which will explore extending its brain device capabilities to control an assistive robotic arm.

A third person received a brain implant from Neuralink. Elon Musk said during an interview that Neuralink wants to implant the experimental devices in more people this year. Two other patients received the brain implants in 2024. A third patient received a brain implant from Neuralink, a neurotechnology company founded by Elon Musk.

Neuralink has completed its third human patient brain-chip implant. Neuralink Corp., which performed its first human brain chip

Elon Musk 's neurotechnology company Neuralink has successfully implanted its brain-computer interface (BCI) device in a third human patient. Musk announced the milestone during an event in Las Vegas. "We've got now three humans with Neuralinks implanted and they're all working well," he said.

Elon Musk revealed that Neuralink's brain-computer device has been successfully implanted in a third patient, with plans for 20 to 30 more implants this year. He confirmed that all three implants are working well, sharing the update during a Las Vegas event streamed on his X platform, formerly known as Twitter.

Neuralink is one of many organisations working on brain-computer connections, including rival start-ups in Europe. This is how a brain chip works.View on euronews
