The group of initial hires consisted of experts in areas such as neuroscience, biochemistry and robotics. Neuralink was founded in 2016 by Elon Musk and a founding team of seven scientists and engineers. Company History The Pioneer Building in San Francisco, formerly housing the offices of Neuralink and OpenAI ![]() On January 29, 2024, Musk said that Neuralink had successfully implanted a Neuralink device in a human and that the patient was recovering. Veterinary records of the monkeys showed a number of complications with electrodes being surgically implanted. The company has faced criticism for a large amount of euthanization of primates that underwent medical trials. As of May 2023, they have been approved for human trials in the United States. They had anticipated starting experiments with humans in 2020, but have since moved that projection to 2023. At that time, Neuralink announced that it was working on a "sewing machine-like" device capable of implanting very thin (4 to 6 μm in width) threads into the brain, and demonstrated a system that reads information from a lab rat via 1,500 electrodes. By July 2019, it had received $158 million in funding (of which $100 million was from Musk) and was employing a staff of 90 employees. ![]() Since its founding, the company has hired several high-profile neuroscientists from various universities. Founded by Elon Musk and a team of seven scientists and engineers, Neuralink was launched in 2016 and was first publicly reported in March 2017. is an American neurotechnology company that is developing implantable brain–computer interfaces (BCIs), based in Fremont, California, as of 2024.
