The next step is to involve a monkey as its brain is similar to that of a human, which opens up more possibilities for the experiment. The monkey will not only answer questions, but will also be able to interact with the computer, for example, control the mouse. Lebedev explained that this was a much more difficult task than working with mice.
However, conducting such experiments on primates caused concern among scientists. Vasily Popkov, head of the neural interfaces laboratory at Moscow State University, noted that working with monkeys is more difficult, both surgically and ethically. Safety issues and the body’s response to implanted devices remain an important aspect of research.
