Neuralink to build ‘brain computers’

Bloomberg

Neuralink Corp., the startup co-founded by billionaire Elon Musk, has taken steps to sell $100 million in stock to fund the development of technology that connects human brains with computers.
The San Francisco-based company has already gotten $27 million in funding, according to a filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission. Musk said Neuralink isn’t seeking outside investors. A spokesman didn’t respond to questions. Musk, 46, is the CEO of Tesla Inc. and Space Exploration Technologies Corp. and has several other pet projects, including a venture to bore tunnels for roads or tube-based transportation systems known as the hyperloop, and another project for the development of artificial intelligence.
Few details are known about Neuralink. The company’s sparse website says it’s “developing
ultra-high bandwith brain-machine interfaces to connect humans and computers.”
