TL;DR Summary

Elon Musk's Neuralink is preparing for its first clinical trial after receiving FDA approval to implant brain chips into humans. The trial, called PRIME, aims to evaluate the safety and functionality of the brain-computer interface (BCI) software. Participants with quadriplegia due to spinal cord injury or ALS can apply to use the N1 Implant and N1 User App to control a computer using their thoughts. The six-year study will involve surgical placement of the implant by a robot and regular follow-up visits. Neuralink is seeking individuals who meet specific criteria and interested participants can apply on the company's website.
