Elon Musk hopes to start experimenting with humans as early as next year.  Neuralink is preparing to implant its chip in the human brain for the first time

Recall that Neuralink, formed several years ago, is engaged in the creation of technologies for the brain-computer interface. In the spring of this year, the company showed the first vivid and very impressive example of the work of these technologies in the form of a monkey, which, with the power of thought, played the famous game Pong.

We hope to be able to test this with our first humans – people with severe spinal cord injuries such as tetraplegia, quadriplegia – next year, pending FDA approval

At the same time, Musk added that Neuralink’s standards are higher than the requirements of the FDA.

On the one hand, it may seem that Musk, as he often does, promises a too rapid development of a new company, but on the other hand, his first statements regarding experiments with people date back to 2020. Moreover, in the case of the monkey, we can actually see working technologies.
