This groundbreaking event marks a significant milestone in neuroscience and promises to revolutionize how we interact with technology and the world around us.

But before we dive into the future, let’s rewind a bit. Neuralink, founded by Musk in 2016, has been diligently developing brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) – devices that bridge the gap between the brain and external machines.
