Neuralink recently revealed that it chose to postpone the insertion of a second brain chip implant in a procedure that had been eagerly anticipated by the medical and tech communities.
According to Michael Lawton, CEO of the Barrow Neurological Institute, the individual who was to become the company’s second brain-computer implant (BCI) patient had to withdraw from testing originally scheduled for Monday, June 24.
The patient’s involvement with the surgery was canceled due to health concerns unrelated to plans involving the brain implant device. Lawton confirmed in a statement to Bloomberg that Neuralink planned to find a new candidate.
Lawton said that the next patient chosen will likely undergo surgery next month at the Barrow Neurological Institute in Phoenix, Arizona.
“Selecting the right patient for a trial like this is important. Everybody involved, clinically and surgically, wants to get it right,” Lawton said.
Last year, Neuralink made groundbreaking advancements by implanting its brain chip in its first human patient.
