In addition to Tesla, SpaceX, the Boring Company, and OpenAI, Elon Musk founded Neuralink in July 2016. On Tuesday they had a presentation of what they've been working on these past 3 years. The first part went over the technical details of what they've built and how they built it (1000+ tiny sensors implanted in the brain to read the activity of neurons and send signals to the same neurons).
The potential applications of this technology starts here
Human trials expected to start next year, and I think the first case is to develop a mind/computer interface for paralyzed so they can control a computer including controlling the mouse and typing.
Longer term goal include things like restoring mobility (and speech if applicable) for the paralyzed, restoring sight for the blind, preventing seizures for people with epilepsy, treating chronic pain, Parkinson's disease, etc.
It sounds like science fiction, Musk has invested $100 million to make it a reality.
