Elon Musk’s Neuralink hit the headlines this morning, after the entrepreneur announced that his firm had implanted a chip in the brain of a human for the first time.
Having gained FDA approval, Musk announced that a device called ‘Telepathy’ had been implanted and that the unnamed patient was recovering well.
