TLDR Elon Musk plans to start trialling the technology in humans from 2020. Brain implants work by detecting neuron activity and recording information from up to 1,500 neurons at once. So far, the technology averages an 87% success rate in monkey and rat trials. The implications for patient care and rehabilitation are immense, as are the applications for humanity as a whole. There are also advances in prosthetic technology that enable greater comfort and control.
