SAN FRANCISCO: Tech billionaire Elon Musk said on Wednesday one of his companies would in six months be able to implant a device into a human brain that would allow communication with a computer.
The interface, produced by Musk´s start-up Neuralink, would allow the user to communicate directly with computers through their thoughts, he said. “We´ve submitted I think most of our paperwork to the FDA (US Food and Drug Administration) and we think probably in about six months we should be able to have our first Neuralink in a human,” he said in a company presentation. “We´ve been working hard to be ready for our first human (implant), and obviously we want to be extremely careful and certain that it will work well before putting a device in a human,” he said.
Musk -- who bought Twitter last month and also owns SpaceX, Tesla and several other companies -- has been known to make ambitious predictions about his companies, with several not becoming reality.
