DAVIS, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–As part of an ongoing public records lawsuit by a national doctors group, the University of California, Davis revealed this month that it possesses 371 photographs related to monkey experiments conducted by Elon Musk’s company Neuralink. The nonprofit Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine sued UC Davis in February 2022 for refusing to release photographs and videos of the experiments. According to university veterinary records, Neuralink experimenters cut holes in monkeys’ skulls to implant electrodes in the animals’ brains as part of the company’s work on a “brain-machine interface.” Between 2017 and 2020, the company paid UC Davis $1.4 million to use the university’s facilities and animals. Neuralink now conducts experiments at its facilities in California and Texas.
