Elon Musk may reveal human trials for brain computer tech this week

Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk is all set to reveal a key update on his brain-machine interface company Neuralink this week and may announce human trials for the technology that has been successful on mice and even apes.

While the whole agenda is still speculative, a live demonstration of neuron firing activity is confirmed.

“Will show neurons firing in real-time on August 28th. The matrix in the matrix,” Musk tweeted last month.

Musk has also claimed that a new Neuralink chip will allow users to hear sounds that previously were impossible to human ears.

He confirmed the new feature last month over an exchange with a Twitter user who asked: “If we implement Neuralink – can we listen to music directly from our chips? Great feature.”
