In what sounds like the plot of a 90s sci-fi film, Elon Musk is putting wireless implants in monkeys’ brains and getting them to play videogames. The world’s richest man says this is part of Neuralink - a company formed in 2017 to test brain implants that would allow people to control other digital devices and computer interfaces via nothing but their thoughts.
