The US started chipping humans, and not with the Neuralink

The most high-profile project in the field of human chipping is Neuralink, backed by Elon Musk. However, Synchron has managed to outperform other companies, including Neuralink, in gaining regulatory approval to test commercial products that are literally applied to patients’ minds. Back in June last year, the New York startup Synchron Inc had received permission from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to begin clinical trials of a neurointerface capable of connecting the brain and a computer. And now it has become known that clinical trials of the first commercial brain-computer interface system Stentrode in the United States have begun. The system is designed primarily for paralyzed people. According to its authors, with its help they will be able to more easily interact with the world around them, communicate their needs, as well as communicate with people.
