Ilon Musk, founder of Neuralink, has reported the first successful application of brain-machine technology on a living person. According to him, the brain implant surgery was successful, and now the patient is undergoing rehabilitation. This is still an experimental technology, which at this stage has no practical use, but is extremely necessary to work out the elements of the new interface.

A special robot R1 installed the N1 chip into the human brain. The chip has the dimensions of a coin and is placed in place of a removed fragment of skull bone. It has 64 electrodes immersed in the brain matter through which signals are exchanged. Communication is two-way, 1024-channel, and the chip itself contains tools to connect to third-party devices and exchange data with them.
