Monkey 'plays video games with his mind'

[Still Waters]

Elon Musk, the billionaire chief executive of Tesla and SpaceX, claims another of his companies has wired up a monkey's brain to " play video games with his mind".

Neuralink Corporation, which Mr Musk owns, previously claimed to have implanted coin-sized wireless sensors inside the brains of two pigs, describing the sensors as "a Fitbit in your skull with tiny wires".

In a speech on the private social app Clubhouse on Sunday evening, the entrepreneur said Neuralink has "a monkey with a wireless implant in their skull with tiny wires" which it is testing its technology on.

"You can't see where the implant is and he's a happy monkey," Mr Musk added, before stating that a further announcement would be made in the coming months.
