Summary
- Elon Musk's Neuralink has now implanted its brain-computer interface in more than two dozen people with severe paralysis — a Vancouver police sergeant with ALS became the 26th recipient.

- Neuralink aims to begin high-volume production and a nearly fully automated surgery in 2026, and won FDA 'Breakthrough Device' status for speech restoration.
