Nov 21, 2024, 10:30 AM
Neuralink, the neurotechnology company founded by Elon Musk, has received approval from Health Canada to begin recruitment for its first clinical trial in the country. The trial, part of the CAN-PRIME study, will be conducted at Toronto Western Hospital, marking the first non-U.S. site for Neuralink's brain implant tests. The study aims to assess the safety and initial functionality of the N1 chip, a wireless brain implant designed to allow paralyzed individuals to control digital devices using their thoughts. Recruitment is now open for quadriplegia patients, expanding on Neuralink's existing U.S. trials.
