Elon Musk’s Neuralink has initiated the recruitment of subjects for its first human clinical trial, aiming to explore the potential of its creepy brain-computer interface technology that has produced nasty results for unfortunate test monkeys in recent years.
a few months ago, Elon Musk’s Neuralink is stepping into uncharted territories with its six-year initial trial, officially titled “the PRIME Study.” This innovative research is designed to scrutinize Neuralink’s cutting-edge technology, which it believes can empower those suffering from paralysis due to spinal cord injuries or ALS, enabling them to manipulate devices through the interface.
The PRIME Study, an acronym for Precise Robotically Implanted Brain-Computer Interface, is set to meticulously investigate three integral components of Neuralink’s system. The first is the N1 implant, a brain-computer device. The second component under examination is the R1 robot, a surgical entity responsible for implanting the device. Lastly, the study will delve into the N1 User App, software that interprets brain signals and converts them into computer actions.
The participants of the PRIME Study will undergo an intensive 18-month study period, involving nine visits with researchers, followed by a minimum of two hours a week dedicated to brain-computer interface research sessions and an additional 20 visits spread over the subsequent five years. However, the specifics regarding the number of subjects and the exact location of the study remain undisclosed.
