Neuralink’s three implants are part of its ongoing Prime study, which is evaluating the safety of Neuralink’s brain device in individuals with quadriplegia. In September 2024, the company announced the approval of a second study known as Convoy, which will explore extending its brain device capabilities to control an assistive robotic arm.

Elon Musk's Neuralink plans to implant upgraded brain-computer interfaces in 20-30 patients this year to help with neurological conditions.

Neuralink successfully implanted its brain-computer interface in a third patient, with plans for 20-30 more implants in 2025.

Musk announced that the latest implant procedure was successful and that all three patients who have received the Neuralink brain chip are doing well. “We've got now three humans with Neuralinks implanted and they're all working well,

Elon Musk revealed that Neuralink's brain-computer device has been successfully implanted in a third patient, with plans for 20 to 30 more implants this year. He confirmed that all three implants are working well, sharing the update during a Las Vegas event streamed on his X platform, formerly known as Twitter.
