Musk seeks more brain chip tech โ€“ media

 

The billionaire Tesla boss and Neuralink executive is reportedly mulling an investment into a rival brain chip firm

 

Tech entrepreneur Elon Musk is considering an investment in Synchron, a brain chip developer which competes with his own similar company, Neuralink, according to Reuters.

โ€ฆ

Based in New York City, Synchron is several steps ahead of Neuralink in securing regulatory approval to test its brain implants in humans, receiving the green light from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) last year. Before that, it conducted a separate round of human trials on four people in Australia, gleaning valuable data for future tests.

While Musk has repeatedly hinted at human tests for the Neuralink in the near future, they have yet to be authorized for that use and it is not known where the company currently stands in the regulatory process. In contrast to Synchronโ€™s device, installing the Neuralink requires a major surgical operation involving cuts into the skull, possibly explaining the slower progress.

โ€ฆ

Despite the apparent lack of headway with regulators, Neuralink is a significantly larger company, boasting a 300-employee roster and garnering some $363 million in investments since its founding in 2016. Synchron, which was launched the same year, has around 60 workers and has attracted a more modest $65 million from investors.
