Elon Musk’s Neuralink Spawns a Cluster of Brain Computer Startups

Neuralink Corp., the brain-computer interface startup run by Elon Musk, doesn’t yet have a product ready for broad human consumption, but the project has already succeeded in seeding several offshoots that are developing different technical approaches to manipulating the brain.

Musk’s company is the most deeply funded and, thanks to its owner, the most visible of the bunch. Musk will draw further attention to this once-obscure area of scientific research on Wednesday night when he hosts an event to showcase developments at Neuralink’s office in Fremont, California.
