Neuralink has completed the first implant in a human brain after receiving FDA approval for a human study last year, according to Musk.
The entrepreneur did not provide any conclusive evidence for his BCI claims: There is, for example, no footage of the procedure nor interview with the patient, and no official announcement from ...
Musk announced on Twitter today that his company behind the implant, aptly named Neuralink Corp., will be giving us an update on the goings-ons behind the scenes today at 9 p.m. EST/6 p.m. PT.
Neuralink Corp. [4] is an American neurotechnology company that has developed, as of 2024, implantable brain–computer interfaces (BCIs). It was founded by Elon Musk and a team of eight scientists and engineers (Max Hodak, Benjamin Rapoport, Dongjin Seo, Paul Merolla, Philip Sabes, Tim Gardner, Tim Hanson, and Vanessa Tolosa).
Much research is also being done on the surface chemistry of neural implants in effort to design products which minimize all negative effects that an active implant can have on the brain, and that the body can have on the function of the implant. Another type of neural implant that is being experimented on is prosthetic neuronal memory silicon ...
The implants' "ultra-fine" threads help transmit signals in participants' brains, Neuralink has said. The first product from Neuralink would be called Telepathy, Musk said in a separate post on X.
The interface is based on a thin-film microelectrode array that conforms to the brain surface without penetrating the tissue. It can collect hundreds of times more neural data than traditional cortical surface arrays. The procedure to implant the device does not require a craniotomy, and the implantation is designed to be reversible. [4]
Elon Musk's brain implant startup said on Monday that it was launching a trial to test whether patients could use the Neuralink implant to control an "investigational assistive robotic arm."
