According to the business, a significant failure occurred with Neuralink’s first chip implant in a human skull when the gadget started to separate from the patient’s brain. The patient, Noland Arbaugh, had surgery in February to implant a Neuralink chip into his brain. Within a month of the implant, the threads connecting the tiny computer to the brain started to retract, which resulted in a decline in the device’s functioning.

Is Neuralink currently being investigated?

Yes, the business extensively tested on sheep, pigs, and monkeys for years before to performing its first human implant. As a result, regulators started looking into the business’s procedures at those animal testing facilities. Authorities said earlier this year that they had discovered issues with documentation and quality control at one of the company’s research facilities in California.
