The company of American billionaire Elon Musk Neuralink will begin mass production of brain implants for controlling devices with thoughts in 2026. On January 2, the businessman himself announced this on the X platform (ex. Twitter).

"Neuralink will begin large-scale production of brain—computer interface devices and move to an optimized, almost fully automated surgical procedure in 2026," Musk wrote.

According to him, this year the corporation plans to switch to an optimized, "fully automated surgical procedure."

According to the Reuters news agency, the implant is designed to help people with diseases such as spinal cord injuries. The first patient with an implanted brain-computer device used it to play games, browse the web, post messages on social networks and move the cursor on a laptop.
