In April last year, Neuralink claimed monkeys can play Pong – a computer game - using just their minds when it released a video of Pager, a male macaque, moving a cursor onscreen without using a joystick to do so. Macaque monkeys have been used in testing by Neuralink as the company has been developing Bluetooth-enabled implantable chips – inserted into the monkey’s brains – that the company says can communicate with computers via a small receiver. In a blog post on its website, Neuralink addressed the “recent articles” that have “raised questions around Neuralink’s use of research animals at the University of California, Davis Primate Center” (UC Davis) and said that “all novel medical devices and treatments must be tested in animals before they can be ethically trialed in humans.” ![]()
