This marks an increase from a prior announcement in June, when its partner Barrow Neurological Institute said that seven individuals with severe paralysis had received Neuralink's implants and were using them to control digital and physical tools through thought.
Neuralink device helps monkey see something that’s not there
Neuralink's Blindsight implant enabled a monkey to perceive nonexistent objects by stimulating vision-related brain areas, as revealed by engineer Joseph O'Doherty. The company aims to help blind people see and eventually achieve superhuman vision. Neuralink is also working on implants for paralyzed individuals, allowing them to communicate with computers, with five people already receiving implants.
Elon Musk’s Neuralink to implant Blindsight prosthesis in a human by 2025 end
According to Musk, Blindsight is designed to allow those who have lost both eyes and their optic nerve to see and even enable individuals who were born blind to experience sight for the first time. Neuralink, cofounded by Elon Musk in 2016, endeavours to create a generalised brain interface that restores autonomy to individuals with medical challenges.

Noland Arbaugh, the 29-year-old patient who was paralyzed below the shoulder after a diving accident, played chess on his laptop and moved the cursor using the Neuralink device. The implant seeks to enable people to control a computer cursor or keyboard using only their thoughts.
Elon Musk's Neuralink cited by FDA over animal lab issues
The inspectors identified quality control lapses at the company's California animal research facility. A similar inspection at Neuralink's Texas facility did not find problems, according to agency records. Those visits took place last year from June 12-22, and represent the FDA's sole inspections of Neuralink facilities on record.
Neuralink has put its first chip in a human brain—What could possibly go wrong?
In the past few years, Neuralink has faced investigation for mistreatment of lab animals and seen the departure of several company executives. Nevertheless, the PRIME trial is a significant milestone for a company less than ten years old. However, Neuralink's challenges are far from over. Implanting a device is just the beginning of a decades-long clinical project beset with competitors, financial hurdles and ethical quandaries.
