Elon Musk’s Neuralink scheme proposes the goal of implanting a computer into a human being’s brain within the next six months. The tech multibillionaire said his company was seeking government approval to test his device in people’s brains.

The Neuralink implant that Elon Musk hopes will someday connect the human brain to a computer, was used in two monkeys. They were reportedly moving computer cursors with their brains. The feat was first documented by others in a human in 2006 in the pre-YouTube era and with technology that is far more cumbersome, mooring patients to a computer with a cord, according to a report by The New York Times.
