Elon Musk announced that Neuralink has successfully implanted its brain-computer device in a third patient. According to Musk, all three implants are functioning well. The company plans to conduct approximately 20 to 30 additional implants in 2025, as it continues to develop technologies aimed at treating conditions such as paralysis and ALS. Neuralink is part of a growing sector of startups focused on brain implants, with competitors like Synchron, which aims to assist paralyzed patients in communication through its device known as the 'stentrode.'
