Originally Published 1 year ago — by The Mercury News
Elon Musk's company Neuralink has implanted a computer chip in a person's brain, aiming to enable communication for those with paralysis and potentially bestow mental superpowers on healthy individuals. The secretive nature of the project has raised concerns among neuroscientists and bioethicists, who emphasize the need for transparency and ethical considerations in human experimentation. While the technology holds promise, experts worry about false hope, exploitation, and the lack of public disclosure and peer-reviewed research.
