Neuralink is the innovating new brain-implant technology founded by the man himself, Elon Musk. This innovation will consist of a process that starts by drilling holes in the brain with the help of a custom machine so that thin threads can be embedded into the brain. They will connect these threads to a small processor, and that processor will be connected via Bluetooth to a microphone. With time, this process will make the installation process relatively simple.
The primary purpose of introducing this technology is to help individuals with various cognitive impairments such as loss of sight or speech or to improve movement in the human body. With the help of this technology, people will be able to communicate with each other via a type of telepathy. On a more significant note, the main aim of this technology is to use it to secure the future of humanity as an artificial intelligence civilization.
The founder of Neuralink, Musk, said they have successfully inserted a computer chip, which is a size similar to that of a coin, into a living pig. The company also released a video of the pre-clinical trials showing a monkey playing a video game using only the Neuralink chip.
Musk's main ambition behind this technology was to connect the human brain to a computer to cure different brain ailments. It will even help humans to compete with AI. In this way, Neuralink will allow people to gain superhuman cognition. Elon stated that he believed that the technology should be capable of replacing missing or faulty neurons in the brain with circuits. The company's first product is the N1 link device, an implant capable of transmitting data through a wireless connection.

The pre-clinical trials of this technology have already been conducted in accordance with the rules mentioned in the Natural Research Council guide for the care and use of laboratory animals. After additional successful implementations in pigs and monkeys, the technology will undergo clinical trials.
The team working on this technology is looking for a Clinical Trial Director to lead the clinical trials and help build a team to accelerate the development of the N1 link device. This person will work with top engineers, innovative doctors, and ultimately with the clinical trial participants of Neuralink. The Clinical Trial Director will play a pivotal role in changing the world with the help of the latest technology and the world's most renowned experts.
