    Animal 15 began to lose coordination, and staff observed that she would shake uncontrollably when she saw lab workers. Her condition deteriorated for months until the staff finally euthanized her. A necropsy report indicates that she had bleeding in her brain and that the Neuralink implants left parts of her cerebral cortex “focally tattered.”

    How the hell can you go home and live your life aftet that day at work? Btw, good luck to the cabdidate getting this shit in their head.

      I’d imagine they’d have to get people to agree to getting the implant right? Why would anyone do that if it’s such a big health risk? Being paralyzed sounds a lot better then what those monkeys went through…
