Elon Musk’s brain implant company is launching a new study to test whether its wireless device can control a robotic arm.

In a post on X.com, Neuralink said it had been granted regulatory approval for "a new feasibility trial to extend BCI control using the N1 Implant to an investigational assistive robotic arm," adding that it is "an important first step towards restoring not only digital freedom, but also physical freedom."
