Neuralink is not “FDA Approved” in the sense that clinical testing backs up its claims — it has been given “FDA Clearance” — which is just approval for human testing. The two ideas are frequently conflated, but represent very different phases in medical tech development. https://www.engadget.com/neuralink-receives-fda-clearance-to-begin-human-trials-of-its-brain-computer-interface-001504243.html
