Tesla and X CEO Elon Musk’s neurotechnology company Neuralink has revealed it is looking for people to trial its brain-computer chip, despite fierce criticism of its ‘deadly’ animal tests.

The company got the green light from an independent review board to start their brain-computer interface testing on people suffering from paralysis from from cervical spinal cord injuries or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Musk has previously claimed that his BCI “will enable someone with paralysis to use a smartphone with their mind faster than someone using thumbs.”
