What animals does Neuralink use?

Neuralink is a company that aims to develop brain implants that can help people with neurological disorders or enhance their abilities. The company has been using different animals for testing its devices, such as sheep, pigs, monkeys, and rats.

According to some sources, Neuralink has faced federal investigation for potential animal welfare violations and has killed about 1,500 animals following experiments since 2018.

However, the company has denied these accusations and claimed that it is committed to working with animals most humanely and ethically possible . Neuralink has also shown some videos of monkeys playing video games with its implants.

Neuralink was under federal investigation for potential animal welfare violations amid internal staff complaints that its animal testing is being rushed, causing needless suffering and deaths.

The company has killed about 1,500 animals, including more than 280 sheep, pigs, and monkeys, following experiments since 2018. However, Neuralink has also published a blog post on its website, stating its commitment to animal welfare.
