Neuralink's Clinical Trial Approval in Canada

Neuralink, Elon Musk's brain-computer interface startup, received approval from Health Canada for its first clinical trial allowing individuals with paralysis to control devices using their thoughts. It aims to restore autonomy by enabling users to control digital devices through thought alone.

Neuralink's Brain Chip Implantation Plans

Neuralink plans to implant its device into a second human patient with the goal of reducing the risk posed by AI. The company aims to have 'high single digits' of patients with the device by the end of the year to treat paralysis and memory loss.

Neuralink's Brain-Computer Linking Technology

Elon Musk's Neuralink startup is moving on to a second test patient as their brain-computer linking technology improves. The company aims to enhance human capabilities and achieve a symbiotic relationship between humans and AI.

Elon Musk's Family Expansion and Controversies

Elon Musk has welcomed his twelfth child with Neuralink's Director of Special Projects, Shivon Zilis, marking the third child he has had with an employee. This comes amidst Musk's concerns about declining birth rates and controversy surrounding workplace conduct.

The Internet of Bodies (IOB)

The Internet of Bodies (IOB) is a network of human bodies connected to the internet and related technologies. It includes external, internal, and fully integrated devices, with companies like Neuralink working on brain-computer interfaces. While IOB offers exciting advancements, it raises privacy and ethical concerns about human autonomy and self-governance.

Development of Chinese Neucyber Chip

China has developed a chip called Neucyber, similar to Elon Musk's Neuralink, which allows direct interface between the brain and electronics. The chip has been implanted in a monkey for a year and aims to control a robot arm. China aims to catch up with the West in brain-computer interface technology.
