Elon Musk’s brain chip company Neuralink is working on a new device that could require half the number of electrodes implanted in the brain to boost brain efficiency and performance, company executives said.
The company has also taken risk mitigation measures such as sculpting the skull and lowering patients’ blood carbon dioxide levels to normal levels, executives said in a livestream on social media platform X.
Neuralink is taking these risk-mitigating measures after the first participants in the device’s trials had problems with the tiny wires that are part of the implant.
