>The FDA was particularly concerned about the safety of the rechargeable lithium batteries Neuralink proposed for its device. The regulator said the company needed to do animal testing to show the battery was very unlikely to malfunction, which could damage brain tissue.
>Another reportedly serious concern from the FDA was that the implant's tiny wires—which are thinner than individual human hairs—could migrate into the brain, potentially causing inflammation, rupturing blood vessels, and impairing brain function. The FDA was also concerned about the device overheating and questioned whether it could be removed from people's brains without causing damage.
