## Mark Your Calendar

In 2017, Tesla/SpaceX/Boring Company CEO Elon Musk announced he was launching yet another company, this one focused on finding a way to directly [link the human brain to computers](<https://futurism.com/heres-everything-you-need-to-know-about-elon-musks-humanai-brain-merge>).

And that's basically all we heard about Neuralink for two years, until [Musk tweeted](<https://futurism.com/elon-musk-brain-computer-interface-coming-soon>) in April 2019 that an update from the startup was "coming soon" — and now we finally have an [exact date](<https://www.inverse.com/article/57607-neuralink-elon-musk-s-elusive-brain-computer-firm-just-made-a-big-reveal>) for when that update will happen.

## More to Come

On Thursday, Neuralink [tweeted](<https://twitter.com/neuralink/status/1149133717048188929?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw>) that it will host an event in San Francisco on July 18 to "share a bit about what \[it's\] been working on the last two years."

The tweet included a link to a page where anyone could apply to attend the gathering — but those who don't score an invite will still have the option of watching a livestream of the event, which Neuralink plans to upload online after it's all over.
