Neuralink Update Is Here - Human Trials Coming

Elon Musk has been talking a lot lately about Neurolink and some of the applications that he expects it will be capable of or not capable of in the first decade or so of the product life cycle.

As we get closer to the first clinical human trials for Neurolink , things are starting to become a little more clear on what this brain computer interface technology will actually do and how it will help people.

Neuralink has more in common with an Apple Watch than it does with any existing brain computer interface technology.

It's entirely possible that in the future the device can be expanded to handle some very complex issues, but as it is today , the benefits will be limited.

The key to reaching a safe and effective human trial is going to be that robot sewing machine that threads the electrodes into the cortex.

Elon responded to a Twitter user asking how close the new version two of the neural link robot was to inserting the chip as simply as a LASIK procedure.

We know the robot system is being tested on monkeys right now, and from what Elon says, it is making progress towards being suitable for human trials.
