Elon Musk's brain chip firm denies animal cruelty claims
Neuralink , The Firm Set Up by Tesla boss Elon Musk to develop a device which connects our brains to computers, has denied animal cruelty claims.
A complaint filed last week to the US Department of Agriculture alleged cruel treatment of macaque monkeys which are being used to test the Technology .
Neuralink said it worked with animals in the " most humane and ethical way possible".
The Firm hopes to begin human trials of The Device later this Year .
- Posted in response to recent Criticism - Neuralink emphasises its commitment to animal welfare: " Our central mission is to design an animal care program prioritising the needs of The Animals , rather than the typical strategy of building for human convenience alone. "
" The use of every animal was extensively planned and considered to balance scientific discovery with The Ethical use of animals, " it stated.
'Seizures and trauma'At the start of the research, Neuralink partnered with Davis National Primate Research Center - part of the University of California - But in 2020 built its own vivarium to house The Monkeys , with the stated intention of " improving upon" current standards.
The complaint was filed last week by the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine against UC Davis, and related to " invasive and deadly brain experiments conducted on 23 monkeys".
It claims: " Most of The Animals had portions of their skulls removed to implant electrodes in their brains. "
It also alleges that macaque monkeys used in The Experiment were caged alone, suffered " facial trauma" and had seizures and infections local to The Site of The Implant .
Some were euthanised before they were used in experiments, it claims.
The Committee said it acquired The Information from 600 pages of documents released after it filed a public records legal action Last Year .
It has now filed a second legal action to compel the university to release videos and photos of The Monkeys .
The Bbc has asked UC Davis for comment.
'Surgical complication'In its rebuttal of the claims, Neuralink acknowledged that two animals were put to death " at planned end dates to gather important histological data".
Another six monkeys were euthanised on the medical advice of the veterinary team at UC Davis, it said.
" These reasons included one surgical complication involving the use of the FDA-approved product, BioGlue, one device failure and four suspected device-association infections, " it said.
It added: " While the facilities and care at UC Davis did, and continue to meet, federally-mandated standards, we absolutely wanted to improve upon these standards as we transitioned animals to our in-house facilities.
In 2020, The Firm opened a 6,000 square ft vivarium, housing farm animals and rhesus macaques. In the blog, it Posted pictures of The Unit , showing toys, food and what it called " enrichment devices" to allow animals to forage.
and is privately funded by Musk.
The Device The Firm is working on consists of a tiny probe made up of thousands of electrodes attached to flexible Threads - Thinner than a human Hair - which can monitor The Activity of neurons.
Initially, it is hoped any successful device can be used to help patients with severe neurological conditions, But Mr Musk also envisions a future of " superhuman cognition".
So Far The Firm has successfully implanted microchips into The Brain of a pig called Gertrude and a monkey named Pager.
