His ambitions for Neuralink, which he launched in 2016, are of the same grand scale.<a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2022\/02\/10\/elon-musks-neuralink-allegedly-subjected-monkeys-to-extreme-suffering\/\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2022\/02\/10\/elon-musks-neuralink-allegedly-subjected-monkeys-to-extreme-suffering\/\">Elon Musk\u2019s Neuralink allegedly subjected monkeys to \u2018extreme suffering\u2019<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>He wants to develop a chip that would allow the brain to control complex electronic devices and eventually allow people with paralysis to regain motor function and treat brain diseases such as Parkinson\u2019s, dementia and Alzheimer\u2019s. He also talks of melding the brain with artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Neuralink, however, is running behind schedule. Musk said in a 2019 presentation he was aiming to receive regulatory approval by the end of 2020. He then said at a conference in late 2021 that he hoped to start human trials this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Neuralink has repeatedly missed internal deadlines to gain FDA approval to start human trials, current and former employees have said. Musk approached competitor Synchron earlier this year about a potential investment after he expressed frustration to Neuralink employees about their slow progress,&nbsp;Reuters reported in August.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Synchron crossed a major milestone in July by implanting its device in a patient in the United States for the first time. It received U.S. regulatory clearance for human trials in 2021 and has completed studies in four people in Australia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>SEND A STORY:<\/strong>\u00a0Do you have a story for us or need a promotion \/ advertisement?
