On Wednesday, Elon Musk gave an update on the advancement of his Neuralink brain implant/interface project. In the update, he noted he expects to begin clinical trials in six months, and he hopes one of the first targeted applications will be in restoring vision.

Based in Austin, Texas and the San Francisco Bay Area, Neuralink is developing implantable chips which will be designed to interface directly with the human brain. It is hoped the technology will ultimately allow paralyzed patients to regain motor movement, and ultimately, help meld human brains with computers.

Thus far the company has been conducting animal tests on monkeys, as it moves toward seeking US regulatory approval to conduct clinical trials in humans.
