Elon Musk's Neuralink Plans First Human Trials of Brain-Computer Interface This Year

Elon Musk expects Neuralink to start its first human trial this year.
The trial will involve implanting a tetraplegic or paraplegic patient.
Neuralink received FDA clearance for its first-in-human clinical trial.
The company faces federal scrutiny over its handling of animal experiments.
If Neuralink can prove its device is safe in humans, it would still take several years to secure commercial use clearance.
