Elon Musk’s Neuralink to Implant Chips in Human Brains

• Elon Musk’s Neuralink is set to begin its first-ever trials on humans and is looking to recruit a clinical director to run the test

• The first trial aims to help the company to find a way to use its tech in treating people with brain and spinal injuries

• Before this, the brain chip company had only carried out trials of its neurotech on pigs and monkeys

Elon Musk’s brain chip company Neuralink is set to recruit a clinical director that will oversee its first trial on humans as the company comes closer to developing a technology that can connect the human mind to devices.

The science-based startup plans to build a device that allows people to transmit and receive information between the brain and a computer wirelessly.
The company recently posted a job opening for a clinical trial director as it goes one step close to achieving its goal.
The job description states that the person will work with doctors and engineers, as well as Neuralink’s first Clinical Trial participants.

Before this, the company had only conducted trials of its neurotech device on monkeys and pigs. In one trial, a chip was inserted into a monkey’s brain that allowed it to interact with a computer and play video games.
