Elon Musk **started the project in 2016** with a positive aim to treat the human brain with Computer Technology by placing computer technology inside the human brain. \ The easier it looks in actuality it is not, the experiment at **California University Davis** over the Neuralink has resulted in the **death of 13 money out of 23** while inserting the Neuralink Chips inside their skulls. \ The [news](https://www.mindstick.com/developersection/news) came into the light when an [animal rights](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/36303/what-is-your-view-on-animal-rights) group **Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRMs)** has filed a [complaint against](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/39605/how-can-i-file-a-complaint-against-the-tamil-nadu-police) the University for killing 13 monkeys and violating the many statutes of the **[Animal Welfare](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/112821/how-do-americans-advocate-for-animal-welfare-and-support-ethical-treatment-of-animals-in-industries) Act**.
