An alarming new report contradicts Elon Musk's claim that the monkeys used in brain chip experiments at Neuralink died as a result of terminal diseases.
, the monkeys were euthanized after suffering complications like “bloody diarrhea, partial paralysis, and cerebral edema.”
In one of the most gruesome cases listed by PCRM, after her surgery, Animal 15 would press her head against the floor, which is a sign of pain or infection, according to the records. Animal 15 would pull and pluck at her implant until it bled and lie at the foot of the cage, spending time with her cagemate and holding hands. Eventually, Animal 15 began losing coordination and would start shaking uncontrollably at the sight of lab workers.

They said that the monkeys were required to undergo up to a year’s worth of behavioral training to exempt subjects already close to death.on September 19 that it is recruiting for its first-in-human clinical trial.
Once implanted via surgical robot using ultra-fine, flexible wiring, the preliminary BCI device reportedly will wirelessly transmit data to an external computer to decode patients’ movement intentions. Neuralink’s ultimate goal for the Precise Robotically Implanted Brain-Computer Interface Study is to grant its volunteers the ability to wirelessly control a computer mouse or keyboard with their brains.
In 2021, Neuralink implanted 25 out of 60 pigs with the wrong-sized devices. All the pigs were subsequently killed – an error that employees said could have been easily avoided with more preparation, reported
