Multiple Australian projects are on the cutting edge of neurotech breakthroughs and man-machine interfaces – raising questions of security and privacy for human minds. The Sydney researchers are ‘miles ahead’ of Elon Musk’s Neuralink, according to the report.

FDA inspectors found serious problems with the company's animal testing. One month ago, the FDA approved Elon Musk-owned startup Neuralink to start human trials of its brain implant chip. Inspectors found problems with animal testing in the testing of the implant chip, which could be used to implant the chip.
