Neuralink gets Canadian go-ahead for brain implant trial to help paralyzed people control devices with thoughts.

The trial will take place at Toronto's University Health Network hospital. Neuralink has already tested the device on two U.S. patients, with one successfully playing video games and designing 3D objects. The company aims to assist disabled patients in moving, communicating, and potentially restoring vision.
