Musk’s startup is developing a small device that will link the brain to a computer, consisting of electrode-laced wires. Placing the device requires drilling into the skull.
Neuralink Corp., Elon Musk’s brain-implant company, said it received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to conduct human clinical trials.

Musk, who also runs carmaker Tesla Inc. and owns social network Twitter, has for years said that the company was close to FDA approval for in-human trials.
Musk’s startup has raised alarms with some animal rights groups for its testing on primates. The U.S. Transportation Department began an investigation into the company after an animal advocacy group said it obtained emails suggesting the startup did not follow proper procedure when shipping possibly hazardous materials.
