Elon Musk hopes to be able to implant microchips in the human brain from 2022 via his Neurolink company. The chip, which has already been tested on monkeys, can record and stimulate brain activity. It is intended for medical use. Initially, it could potentially enable people with physical disabilities to recover their abilities to move.
