Food and Drug Administration (FDA)FDA) United States denied the request for Neuralink start testing your brain chips Development.
Despite repeated claims by its CEO, Elon Musk, the prospects for launching a brain-computer interface (BCI) Neuralink to bring a product to market remain at a distance, according to a new report from Reuters.
Test delays
According to the report, FDA in 2022, the company was denied permission to conduct human trials.
“The agency’s top security concerns were about the device’s lithium battery, the potential for tiny implant wires to migrate to other areas of the brain, and whether and how the device could be removed without damaging brain tissue,” current and former employees said. from Neuralink in the middle.
concern FDA regarding the battery system and its new transdermal charging capabilities are related to the possibility of device failure.
FDA she is also very concerned about potential problems if the device has to be completely removed for replacement or upgrades due to the tiny size of the electrical wires that run into the patient’s gray matter. These wires are so small and fragile that they run the risk of breaking during removal (or even regular use) and then migrating to other parts of the brain where they can get stuck in something important.
I’m waiting
During open days Neuralink Last November, Musk confidently asserted that the company would receive approval from FDA “within six months”.
Elon Musk trying to speed up the process Neuralinka company that wants to implant its first brain chips in humans in the coming months.
Several times over the years, Musk has asked employees to pretend they have a bomb strapped to their head to make them move faster, according to three sources who heard the comment multiple times. Musk once told employees a few years ago that he would cause a “market failure” in Neuralink if they didn’t make more progress, a comment that some employees took as a threat to stop operations.
According to sources, Neuralink run tests in quick succession before fixing problems in previous tests or drawing full conclusions. Result: More animals are usually tested and killed, in part because this approach leads to repeated testing.
Musk’s persistence is also due to the fact that other companies are already at higher stages than his company. Synchron, for example, has already received FDA approval for human implants since last year. In addition, only 80 sheep have died during the investigation since 2016.
