"Neuralink Patient Assured No Monkey Deaths, New Brain Cap Enables Mind-Controlled Gaming"

Noland Arbaugh, the first human to receive Elon Musk's Neuralink brain chip, was assured by the company that no monkeys had died as a result of a Neuralink implant, despite reports of some of the 23 subjects dying during testing. Concerns about the safety and ethical implications of the technology arose due to previous trials on animals, including reports of monkeys suffering and dying during experimentation. Despite controversy, Arbaugh proceeded with the implant and has demonstrated positive outcomes, raising ethical concerns and sparking debate about the broader implications of such technology.

Elon Musk Announces Breakthrough: Neuralink Patient Controls Computer Mouse with Mind

Elon Musk announced that the first human patient implanted with a brain-chip from Neuralink has fully recovered and can control a computer mouse using their thoughts. The patient's progress is reportedly good, and the startup is now aiming to maximize mouse button clicks. Neuralink, which received approval for human trial recruitment in September, aims to enable people to control a computer cursor or keyboard using their thoughts and has grand ambitions for treating conditions like obesity, autism, depression, and schizophrenia. However, the firm has faced scrutiny over its safety protocols and has been fined for violating transportation rules.

"Neuralink's First Brain Chip Patient Controls Computer Mouse with Thoughts, Says Elon Musk"

Elon Musk announced that the first human implanted with a Neuralink brain chip has recovered and can control a computer mouse with their thoughts, marking a milestone for the company's efforts to connect brains to computers. The patient is experiencing no ill effects and is able to move the mouse around a screen just by thinking. Neuralink's first products aim to restore lost functions for people with paralysis or vision impairments, with hopes of eventually enhancing memory and intelligence. However, widespread deployment of the technology is still many years in the future, and regulators and consumer demand will set high standards for implanting the device into the brain of a healthy human.

"Public Opinion and Ethical Concerns Surrounding Neuralink's Brain Chip Implant Technology"

A recent poll by YouGov indicates that only 8% of Americans would consider getting a computer chip implanted in their brain if the technology moved past the experimental stage and became commercially available, with 82% of respondents probably or definitely not interested. Men were more likely than women, and Democrats and Independents more likely than Republicans, to consider such a piece of tech. However, science fiction readers showed more interest, with 19% of those who had read Dune expressing willingness to get a commercially available brain chip.

"Neuralink's Brain Chip Trial Draws Thousands of Applicants"

Thousands of people have volunteered to participate in the first clinical trial of Elon Musk's Neuralink brain implant chip, which aims to translate a person's thoughts into computer commands. The trial, set to begin next year, requires adult candidates under 40 with all four limbs paralyzed. The surgical procedure involves inserting electrodes and thin wires into the brain, with a computer replacing a portion of the skull. The implanted computer will collect and analyze brain activity, wirelessly transmitting the data to a nearby device. Neuralink has faced criticism for animal testing, leading to investigations into alleged animal abuse and mishandling of hazardous materials.

"Neuralink's Brain-Chip Trial: Seeking Volunteers for Revolutionary Implant"

Neuralink has opened applications for its human trials, with thousands of people expressing interest. The brain chip startup, co-founded by Elon Musk, aims to create a device that allows people to communicate telepathically and control devices using their mind. To be eligible for the trials, individuals must have certain neurological conditions and be over 18. The application process involves filling out screening questions, a consent form, and providing medical records. Selected participants will undergo surgery and be monitored for six years.

Neuralink to Begin Human Trials of Brain Chip Implant This Year

Elon Musk's brain-chip start-up Neuralink plans to begin its first human trial this year by implanting a tetraplegic or paraplegic patient. The company received FDA clearance for its first-in-human clinical trial last month, but it may take several years to secure commercial use clearance. Neuralink has faced federal scrutiny over its handling of animal experiments, potential financial conflicts on the board overseeing animal testing, and the illegal transportation of dangerous pathogens on chips removed from monkey brains. Despite these challenges, the company's valuation has risen to around $5 billion.

Neuralink to implant first brain chip case this year, says Musk.

Elon Musk announced at the VivaTech event in Paris that his brain-chip startup Neuralink plans to implant a tetraplegic or paraplegic patient during a webcast monitored by Reuters. Neuralink received FDA clearance for its first-in-human clinical trial last month, a critical milestone for the startup as it faces U.S. probes over its handling of animal experiments. If Neuralink can prove its device is safe in humans, it would still take several years, potentially more than a decade, for the start-up to secure commercial use clearance.
