Neuralink

Elon Musk is the greatest entrepreneur the world has ever seen.

All of this happened in the last month.

BREAKING: The first Neuralink patient is doing well, and Elon Musk is hopeful to have results by later this week.

How Neuralink Is Implanted
- A Neuralink implant is placed through a small skull opening, where ultra-thin electrode threads are inserted into the brain to detect neural signals and wirelessly translate them into digital commands.

The first Neuralink goal is restoring connection.


The most ambitious interface begins with a concrete human capability worth restoring

The Real Impact of Neuralink for Paralyzed Patients

🚨 BREAKING: Neuralink ENABLED SPEECH for patients! 🧠
This groundbreaking tech reads brain signals to help those unable to communicate verbally.
ALS patients can now share their thoughts.
It's a HUGE leap in assistive technology

🚨 BREAKING: Neuralink achieves FDA approval for blindness treatment!
This groundbreaking technology holds immense potential to restore movement.
Future possibilities are UNLIMITED.

Neuralink and Grok gave him his voice back

Terry, an ALS patient, is Neuralink’s third VOICE trial participant.

A tiny chip reads the brain signals tied to speech, so he just thinks the words and it decodes them.

The twist: instead of a robotic voice, Neuralink used Grok Voice to rebuild his real voice from old recordings.

So he looked at his wife and said I love you, in his own voice. Still a trial, but incredible.

"The vast majority of diseases or brain issues, I think are fixable with a Neuralink device."

JUST IN: Elon Musk on why Neuralink matters

Humans get information out far more slowly than AI does.

"Talking to a human will be like talking to a tree. You talk to a tree, it takes a long time to respond."

🗣️ ELON MUSK:

"Neuralink, where we want to try to solve the bandwidth constraint that humans have. So, because you can imagine, like, even in the most benign scenario where the AI is super friendly and wants to do everything it wants to make you happy, just our rate of communication is too slow.

So, like, the peak human bandwidth is only about 100 bits per second, roughly. And our input bandwidth is much higher because of vision. So there we maybe have, it's a debatable point, but, you know, a megabit per second or a few megabits per second from our eyes, which are, in fact, like cameras. But our output bandwidth is really low, maybe 100 bits per second, whereas computers are communicating at a trillion bits per second.

Researchers from UGA Franklin have pinpointed several of the genes that make brain regeneration possible in one type of flatworm.

Flatworms use stem cells to replace neurons after injury. Humans also have stem cells, but they are unable to transform into new neurons effectively enough to heal injuries. The study lays the groundwork for researchers to investigate similar pathways that might be activated in humans to design better therapies for traumatic brain injuries or diseases

Love to see the great work by Neuralink being recognized.

What do you think 💭

Neuralink just gave a man with ALS his voice back.

His name is Terry. Years ago, ALS completely stripped away his ability to speak.

China has officially approved the NEO brain-computer interface system for commercial distribution, becoming the first country to authorize invasive BCI sales. Using epidural sensors and robotic assistance, the system restores motor functions without penetrating brain tissue. #BCI

I really hope Neuralink and Elon Musk can reach out the Chris Johnson aka CJ2K and create some sort of miracle. This man was electric on the field and really sad to see it end like this for him.
