Neuralink says that the study's launch is an important step towards restoring not just digital but also physical freedom.

Elon Musk's brain implant startup said it was launching a trial to test whether patients could use the Neuralink implant to control a robot limb.

Elon Musk's brain-computer interface (BCI) company is entering its next phase of experiments: seeing if patients can move a robotic arm using their minds. In a statement posted on Musk's "everything app,

"This is an important first step towards restoring not only digital freedom, but also physical freedom," Neuralink said in a statement. Neuralink is referring to these tests as th

Elon Musk’s Neuralink has said it’s about to begin testing a technology that could enable someone with paralysis to control a robotic arm with their thoughts.

Neuralink will begin the feasibility trial to extend BCI control using the N1 Implant to an investigational assistive robotic arm. This is an important first step towards restoring not only digital freedom but also physical freedom.

US-based Neuralink has received approval to launch a new feasibility trial studying its brain implant linked with an assistive robotic arm. Founded by Elon Musk, the company said that the trial, named CONVOY,
