The design has been examined on a minimum of 19 completely different animals with robots with round an 87% success price, in accordance with the enterprise’s presentation final 12 months.
“We are going to present neurons firing in real-time on August twenty eighth. The matrix within the matrix,” Musk tweeted on the finish of July. Again in July 2019, he said that he hoped to have an implant in a human affected person by the tip of 2020.
