Elon Musk said that Neuralink implants will move to an "almost entirely automated surgical procedure in 2026."

But boosting our brains does not end there, millions of us are downloading brain training apps to improve our processing speed, memory and to try to protect the 86 billion neurons we have stored in our heads - and as a way, we are told, of staying mentally resilient in the age of artificial intelligence.
