Musk recently said that his brain-computer interface company Neuralink successfully implanted the second brain-computer interface chip into a human patient.

This is another major breakthrough following the implantation of the first patient in January this year, and is a double miracle in the fields of medicine and technology.

It is reported that Neuralink was founded by Musk in 2016. The company hopes to establish a communication channel between the human brain and external devices: by implanting ultra-fine wires in the brain and connecting these threads to a custom-designed chip that contains electrodes that can read information from groups of neurons.

In January this year, Neuralink carried out the first human surgical implant, allowing the subjects to achieve "telepathy" with amazing results. It allows people with Neuralink devices implanted to directly control mobile phones or computers through thoughts. The entire interaction process only requires thinking with the brain and does not involve eye tracking devices.
