Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk launches Neuralink Corp., a biotech company that aims to integrate the human brain with artificial intelligence, the Wall Street Journal reported today.

The new venture will work on brain-computer linkage tech as a means to merge human brain with artificial intelligence. Neuralink is pursuing the "neural lace" technology, which implants tiny brain electrodes could upload and download thoughts.

Neuralink was registered in California as a "medical research" company in July 2016. But Musk has not made an official announcement.

Neural lace is a concept first coined in The Culture, a series of sci-fi books written by fiction author Iain M Banks, where humans living on another planet install genetically engineered glands in their brains that can secrete stimulants, psychedelics and sedatives any time they like.
