Dr. Sameer Sheth, an implantable neurotechnologist at Baylor College of Medicine, told Nature, \"They're only sharing the parts they want us to know, and that's causing a lot of concern in the industry.\"<\/p>\n

Dr. Sheth also said that researchers still have no idea what Neuralink's robotic surgeon is capable of. So far, he noted, we've only seen footage of it operating on a \"dummy\" a year ago. In fact, Neuralink has yet to confirm whether it has used a robotic surgeon on a human patient.<\/p>\n

Dr. Bolu Ajiboye, a brain-computer interface researcher at Case Western Reserve University, told Nature, \"Human control of the cursor is nothing new.\" He noted that the first human to control a cursor via a brain-computer interface appeared in 2004, and tests on monkeys were even earlier. Meanwhile, other brain-computer interface projects have enabled completely paralyzed patients to communicate through digital stand-ins using only their thoughts, or to control robotic prosthetics.<\/p>\n

Nonetheless, Dr. Ajiboye isn't in a hurry to dismiss Neuralink, telling Nature, \"The more companies involved in human brain-computer interface research, the more it will advance the field.\"<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
