Quotes:
Has Blackrock Neurotech implanted brain chips in people?
Yes. It has implanted more than 50 chips into people’s brains.

What are the company’s goals?
Blackrock Neurotech states that its mission is simple. “We want people
with neurological disorders to walk, talk, see, hear, and feel again.
“We’re engineering the next generation of neural implants, including
implantable brain-computer interface technology that restores function
and independence to individuals with neurological disorders.”
