Two Canadian patients with spinal cord injuries have successfully received Elon Musk’s Neuralink brain chip implants, marking a significant milestone in the field of neurotechnology. The surgeries were performed at a Toronto hospital and are part of a broader Canadian trial involving the innovative brain chip technology. The patients were able to control a computer cursor with their thoughts shortly after the procedure, demonstrating the potential of Neuralink in assisting individuals with paralysis. The trial aims to enroll a total of six patients to help Canadian regulators evaluate the technology, with four participants currently involved.
