Elon Musk's brain-chip firm says it has received approval from the US Food and Drugs Administration (FDA) to conduct its first tests on humans.
The billionaire's Neuralink implant company wants to help restore people's vision and mobility by connecting brains with computers.
The chips - which have been tested on monkeys - are designed to interpret signals produced in the brain and relay information to devices via Bluetooth.
