Musk vows interface implants in human brains within six months

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec 2 (AFP): 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.

In July 2019, he vowed that Neuralink would be able to perform its first tests on humans in 2020.
