The first human patient received a brain implant from Elon Musk's startup Neuralink

Neuralink, a startup, is a leader in the growing field of neurocomputer technology, aiming to enable people to control computers with their thoughts.

After extensive efforts to obtain approval for human clinical trials, the company successfully performed the first surgery to implant a brain device that allows for computer interaction.

The first person to receive a Neuralink implant is currently recovering from the procedure. This small, cylindrical implant is inserted into the skull and connects to the brain via ultra-thin electrodes. Similar surgeries will be performed by specialized robots. Early results are promising: the implant has already begun recording neuronal activity in the patient.
