    Canadian Neurosurgeons Seek Six Patients for Musk's Neuralink Brain Study -------------------------------------

    Canadian neurosurgeons in partnership with Elon Musk's Neuralink have regulatory approval to recruit six patients with paralysis willing to have a thousand electrode contacts in their brains.

    The trial, called CAN-PRIME, has started recruiting patients for a study that will test the safety and efficacy of a device that allows people to move cursors with their minds, a surgeon leading the trial said.

    Neuralink announced regulator Health Canada's approval this week. Neuralink has implanted two such devices in patients in the United States.

    Sounds interesting. Hope it is effective for those with "quadriplegia to control external
    devices with their thoughts." Modern technology is amazing!
