Neuralink now accepting human trial patients

Neuralink Corp., the brain implant startup led by billionaire Elon Musk, is recruiting patients for a clinical trial, a long-awaited step that brings the science fiction-esque technology closer to human reality.

In a blog post, the company said it was recruiting patients with quadriplegia due to cervical spinal cord injury or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) for the trial.

@RedViking was (or is?) so close to qualifying for this free trial.

Many of our frontline Civil War heroes will also start qualifying soon ...

If I'm a quadriplegic, sign me up. Everything that could have gone wrong already has.

quadriplegia due to cervical spinal cord injury

If I was in their shoes, I might just grab onto any little thread of hope. I would prefer that thread of hope come from virtually anywhere than Musk though. His fail and fix cowboy style of development isn't welcome anywhere near my brain.

Might want to think on that a bit ... but not too long!
