# Elon Musk’s Neuralink reports trouble with first human brain chip

**[Ars Technica](https://daily.dev/sources/arstechnica)** · 7 min read · 3 upvotes · 2 comments

## Summary

Neuralink, a brain-computer interface startup founded by Elon Musk, reported trouble with its first human brain chip. The invasive brain chip implanted in a participant's brain had malfunctioned, with neuron-surveilling threads being dislodged. The exact cause, number of retracted threads, and safety risks are unclear. Neuralink has been able to compensate for the lost data to some extent. The company aims to place the threads near neurons of interest for recording and decoding into intended actions.
