A recent announcement from Elon Musk revealed that Neuralink successfully implanted its neurotechnology device or brain-computer interface in a second patient. Musk shared the news during an 8-hour podcast, in which he released limited information about the second participant, stating that the individual had a spinal cord injury similar to the first patient, who had become paralyzed due to a diving accident. Musk explained that 400 of the available 1,024 electrodes in the implant were functioning successfully but cautioned: "I don't want to jinx it, but it seems to have gone extremely well with the second implant. There's a lot of signal, a lot of electrodes. It's working very well."
In related news, an article in the Financial Times (£) reports that human trials are set to get underway in the UK for a brain implant made of graphene.
