What does Neuralink sell? Is Neuralink denied by the FDA?

Neuralink is a company that aims to create a generalized brain-computer interface (BCI) that can restore autonomy and unlock human potential. It was founded in 2016 by Elon Musk and a team of seven scientists and engineers.

Neuralink’s BCI is fully implantable, cosmetically invisible, and designed to let you control a computer or mobile device anywhere you go.

The company has been working on a surgical robot that can insert very thin threads into the brain, and has demonstrated a system that reads information from a lab rat via 1,500 electrodes.

Neuralink has not been denied by the FDA, but rather has been approved for human trials in the United States as of May 2023. Elon Musk announced that the first human received an implant from Neuralink on Sunday, January 28, 2024, and is recovering well. The company hopes to treat serious brain diseases in the short-term, and eventually achieve human enhancement.
