What’s new with Neuralink and how is the brain implant device progressing?

Elon Musk is in the news for a lot of reasons but last week, the billionaire futurist grabbed headlines yet again when he revealed that the brain-computer interface (BCI) device made by his startup Neuralink has been implanted in a person’s brain – for the second time.

Speaking on a podcast released on August 2, Musk further said that eight more people could be implanted with the brain chip by 2024 as part of its clinical trials for humans.
