elon musk company neuralinks recruitment for first in human clinical trial is open

Tesla and X owner Elon Musk is in the headlines for his new company. His startup 'Neuralink' has announced that it has received approval from an Independent Review Board to start recruiting patients for the first human trial. The company is looking for people who are suffering from paralysis and are ready to participate in the study for the next 6 years, get a chip implanted in their brain and test it.

Neuralink wants to bring such a device to the market, which will be able to control computers and mobile phones directly through brain activity. That means you will be able to operate your smartphone just by thinking. Disabled people and people suffering from paralysis will benefit the most from this device.

Neuralink says its aim is to make life easier for people suffering from neurological disorders. How much success he will achieve in this cannot be predicted yet. In February this year, it was revealed that the chip had been used on monkeys and many monkeys had died. The company was accused of animal cruelty. However Musk rejected the allegations.

The whole world has eyes on Neuralink's project. If any accident occurs during human trials, the company may have to suffer huge losses. The company's project is progressing quite late. Elon Musk wanted Neuralink to get the necessary approval for testing on humans by 2020, but it has been delayed by 3 years.

In May this year, the company was given approval for testing on humans. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) had given it the green signal for in-human clinical trials, which is about to begin.
