Elon Musk’s company is facing new challenge from China’s latest tech progress

China’s first clinical trial of a technology that allows signals from the brain to control an external device has proved successful, making it only the second country after the US to reach this stage, a report has said. Until now, Elon Musk-owned Neuralink has been able to successfully implant a brain chip in a human, enabling him to carry out tasks like control a computer mouse using his thoughts.

Citing Global Times, Bloomberg reported that Chinese researchers used brain-computer interfaces, or BCI, a wireless invasive implant in a patient with tetraplegia in March.
