Elon Musk's Neuralink uses animals in its quest to develop a brain-computer interface (BCI) chip to control machines with the brain. Under US Federal law, companies that use certain animals for experimental studies are required to have an oversight board. In Musk's company, this panel largely consists of employees, per a Reuters report. This has raised concerns about experimental integrity and animal welfare.
