Billionaire businessman and Neuralink founder Elon Musk claimed his company has successfully implanted one of its wireless brain chips in a human.
He said the results detected promising Neuron spikes or nerve impulses and the patient is recovering well.
The company thrives at helping people with paralysis communicate by allowing them to remotely control devices using brain activity.
The Food and Drug Administration permitted Elon to test the chips on humans in May despite having struggled to gain approval.
It's a huge success for the start of six years of study, neuralink shared that a robot is being used to surgically place 64 flexible threads, thinner than a human hair, onto a part of the brain that controls "movement intention."
Elon posted on X formerly known as Twitter that neuralink's first product will be called telepathy.
He said that telepathy will enable control of your phone or computer, and through them almost any device, just by thinking.
"Initial users will be those who have lost the use of their limbs," he proceeded.
"Imagine if Stephen Hawking could communicate faster than a speed typist or auctioneer. That is the goal," Elon added referring to the late scientist who had motor neuron disease.
As Musk's company lifts its profile, he rivals with companies some have a track record dating back two decades. One is Utah-based Blackrock Neurotech which implanted its first of many brain-computer interfaces in 2004.
Comments show how people have perceived the matter and most are not pleased.
