“The first Neuralink clinical trials outside the US will take place in Canada. Neuralink has secured Health Canada’s approval to launch human trials in the country, with the Toronto Western Hospital being the ‘first and exclusive surgical site’ for the procedure. The company first opened its Canadian patient registry in March this year, but now it’s actively looking for potential participants. “Recruitment is now open,” it has announced on X. Under the CAN-PRIME study, Neuralink will embed its implant in the brain of the participant so that it can interpret their neural activity.” (11/21/24)
