Elon Musk’s Neuralink says it has FDA approval for human trials: What to know

Neural spike is a generic term dipshit. Action potential would be more appropriate. Of course you and your buttbuddy probably flunked 6th grade Biology so your comments only serve to amuse me. Now get on your knees and gobble Elon's jizz, idiot.

Hey douche nozzle,

Here's this.

The company has faced calls for scrutiny regarding its safety protocols. Reuters reported earlier this month that the company was fined for violating U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) rules regarding the movement of hazardous materials.

The company was valued at about $5 billion last June, but four lawmakers in late November asked the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to investigate whether Musk had misled investors about the safety of its technology after veterinary records showed problems with the implants on monkeys included paralysis, seizures and brain swelling.

Musk wrote in a social media post on Sept. 10 that "no monkey has died as a result of a Neuralink implant." He added that the company chose "terminal" monkeys to minimize risk to healthy ones.

They are, among other things, attempting to literally cure blindness.
Genetic scientists already did that.

Leber congenital amaurosis type 10 is a genetic eye disease developing in children due to a mutation in the CE9290 gene that causes the loss of CEP290 protein and gradual loss of eyesight. Recently it has been fully cured by fixing the mutant gene through the CRISPR gene knock-in (KI) strategy
 
This week, Musk said on Spaces — an audio component of his social-media platform X — that the volunteer “seems to have made a full recovery, with no ill effects that we are aware of” and “is able to move a mouse around the screen by just thinking”.

To researchers working on implanted neurotechnologies, this achievement is underwhelming.

“A human controlling a cursor is nothing new,” says Bolu Ajiboye, a BCI researcher at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio. The first human to receive a long-term BCI implant controlled a cursor with it in 2004 ― and non-human primates have been doing so for even longer, explains Ajiboye.

It will be primarily for brain disease and brian injury folks at first. Human enhancement, if you will, would likely come much later.

If they cure Parkinson’s disease i would donate money to them. That disease is horrible.

This thread is a fun trip down memory lane.
