• 1 Neuralink, Elon Musk's startup, began recruiting for its first clinical trial for paralysis patients; Precision Neuroscience received breakthrough designation from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), allowing it to fast-track its own trials.
• 2 Meanwhile, scientific advances are revealing promising new applications for such devices, including more comprehensive restoration of speech, sight, hearing, and movement to people who have lost those abilities, as well as help for psychiatric conditions, such as eating disorders and depression.

Understanding this could lead to better treatments, improved diagnostics, or a deeper grasp of how the human body works — benefiting patient care globally.
