Elon Musk's brain implant start-up reportedly planned to test on animals
1. Neuralink, a company cofounded by Elon Musk that aims to develop brain
implants for boosting people's mental capabilities, had plans to test
products on animals, according to a new report.
2. The report on Wednesday from Gizmodo points to a letter Neuralink
employee Jared Birchall sent to a San Francisco city department last year
that mentions plans for "a small operating room for in vivo testing, and a
small room to house rodents."
3. But he has said that before the company would seek to deploy its
technology for a wider population -- which could be seven to nine years away
-- Neuralink would first try to help people with certain kinds of
disabilities.
4. The Gizmodo report says an architect subsequently told the city that the
company was looking outside San Francisco to set up a lab, and that
Neuralink has begun sponsoring research at the University of California,
Davis.
5. Ultimately Neuralink did receive approval from California's state public
health department to keep and use animals at its San Francisco headquarters. |
