Elon Musk’s Neuralink Makes Its Next Move To Begin Human Trials For Brain Implants
Neuralink — a neurotechnology startup launched by Elon Musk — is hiring a clinical director as it prepares to begin trials for human brain implants.
A job advertisement from the firm said that the position will “work closely with some of the most innovative doctors and top engineers, as well as working with Neuralink’s first Clinical Trial participants,” helping to “build the team responsible for enabling Neuralink’s clinical research activities and developing the regulatory interactions that come with a fast-paced and ever-evolving environment.”
As reported by Business Insider, Musk announced at The Wall Street Journal’s CEO Council Summit in December that Neuralink wants to start implanting microchips in humans this year. According to Musk, the company’s “standards for implanting the device are substantially higher than what the FDA requires.”
He revealed on December 6 that progress in developing Neuralink’s technology will accelerate in 2022 with human subjects, as it is “hard to have nuanced conversations with monkeys.” – READ MORE
