There has been a considerable disclosure about the ‘Neuralink project’ of Elon Musk, who thought of putting a chip in the human brain and controlling it according to his thinking. According to the report published in the American newspaper, out of the 23 monkeys in which the ‘Neuralink chip’ was installed for testing, about 15 monkeys have died. These monkeys were chipped at the University of California Davis between 2017 and 2020.Â
The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine Group (PCRM), which fights for animal rights, studied more than 700 pages of documents and other records. After this, it was revealed that the monkeys in which the chip was implanted were affected with weak health effects. The report also said that the Neuralink chip was inserted through a hole in the skulls of monkeys.Â
Neuralink project was started in 2016Â
A monkey started vomiting continuously, due to which it died. This caused a blood infection, and he died. The autopsy report states that the monkeys had suffered a brain hemorrhage. Even when his skeleton was studied, it was found that there was a hole in his brain due to this.
The Neuralink project was started in the year 2016. It is designed to help people recover from severe brain and spinal cord injuries. It has also been said that it can cure depression and mental health disorders apart from connecting people to the Internet. According to a recent report, Neuralink will start its trial on humans from this year, but after this revelation, what will be the impact on this project, the eyes of the people are on it.Â
