Neuralink has implanted second trial patient with brain chip, Elon Musk says.

Neuralink, the famous American neurotechnology company founded by entrepreneur Elon Musk, has recently started testing its flagship product. After developing its own brain-computer interface that can be implanted inside patients' brain matter, the process of finding a subject willing to test the device has begun. The first test was started in January, but after a few months it was announced that the device seemed to have started to detach from the implantation zone - the situation was promptly resolved.

More than half a year after the first test, a second patient made themselves available for testing. The company's goal is to be able to provide support for individuals with spinal cord injuries; as the device appears to be able to enable the subject to use digital devices through the use of thought.

From what Musk stated in a recent podcast episode, the current test seems to be promising - out of 1024 electrodes used by Neuralink, 400 have perfectly matched to the patient's brain.
