During the presentation, Musk showed the audience trial footage of animal test subjects using the implant to control various interfaces.
Moving on from the demonstrations, Musk then announced that the Neuralink chip will be ready for human trials in about six months.
In one of the demonstrations, the test subject used the chip to “telepathically” type massages on a screen.
The proposed purpose of the Neuralink technology is to help people with various issues such as paralysis and blindness.
