CHIPS IN THE BRAIN:
Elon Musk's Neuralink gets permission to experiment on humans


Human trials are set to start soon for Elon Musk's brain-chip implants after his company Neuralink gained FDA approval Thursday. 

Neuralink posted on social media that the FDA had given the OK for the first-in-human clinical studies. 

The move is a milestone after Neuralink struggled to gain earlier approvals. 

Musk's plans for Neuralink have included the device helping both disabled and healthy people cure a range of conditions such as obesity, autism, depression and schizophrenia. 

It could also allow for web browsing and telepathy. 


The company made the announcement of the approval Thursday afternoon.  

'This is the result of incredible work by the Neuralink team in close collaboration with the FDA and represents an important first step that will one day allow our technology to help many people,' Neuralink said in a tweet. 

On at least four occasions since 2019, Musk has predicted that his medical device company would begin human trials for a brain implant to treat severe conditions such as paralysis and blindness. 

Yet the company, founded in 2016, only sought FDA approval in early 2022 - and the agency rejected the application, seven current and former employees told Reuters in March.

The FDA had pointed out several concerns to Neuralink that needed to be addressed before sanctioning human trials, according to the employees. Major issues involved the lithium battery of the device, the possibility of the implant's wires migrating within the brain and the challenge of safely extracting the device without damaging brain tissue.

Thursday's FDA approval comes as U.S. lawmakers are urging regulators to investigate whether the make-up of a overseeing animal testing at Neuralink contributed to botched and rushed experiments.

Neuralink has already been the subject of federal probes.

This person mostly makes front page. Here I go…

I love white people. God? What is that? They literally are God. It is why the entity they forced their colonies to worship looks like them. Many centuries later and their descendants are looked upon as superior beings whenever they travel out of their homes. If that isn’t called securing a legacy then I don’t know what is.

Let’s hope Neuralink makes for improved lives for humans. I only care for the benefits. Elon, how far Starlink? Are Nairalanders too broke to afford it?

Wahala... In as much as I agree this is a good one because it will help solving those health conditions and other problems, my concern however is, I just hope all these new innovations and AI technologies will not end up putting Humans to total extinctions from earth soon.

He should offer himself as the lab rat for the test. He wants to bring the evolution theory to the level of homo superior. He should be the first guinea pig for his own programmegrin

This is the future.

Forget god and religion.

Humans have done things the imaginary god could never do.

We are restoring the eyes of the blind and giving amputees limbs. Has god ever restored the leg or hands of an amputated person? No!


Stupid Nigerians who said 5G was killing people are now rushing 5G phones. Very dumb idiots.

You embrace change and tech advancement or you go obsolate.

In our lifetime we will be able to reverse aging. Old people will be made young again. Nigerians will condemn it because of their silly god but they will later start paying to reverse their age too.

It's a great development but the only negative effect I foresaw is if hackers have control of the database, they can turn people into zombies.

Soon, the focus of schools and the society will change. Curriculum will be redefined and a new set of humans will evolve. Let's get ready for the next wave guys! So excited to be part of this generation
