🇺🇸 THAT SPECIAL MOMENT A NEURALINK PATIENT MOVED THE CURSOR WITH HIS MIND AFTER PARALYSIS A 29-year-old paralyzed man used Neuralink’s brain implant to play online chess and move a computer cursor—just by thinking. In a livestream on X, The implant, invisible once placed, reads brain signals and translates them into digital movement. Neuralink received FDA approval last year, and Arbaugh is the first known test subject. “It has already changed my life,” he added. No side effects have been reported. Neuralink now races against competitors to bring brain-computer tech to the mainstream. Source: Wired, Interesting Engineering, Neuralink, Noland Arbaugh

🚨 Elon Musk on Neuralink: "Neuralink is building brain computer interfaces. The first part is called telepathy, allows someone who has lost the use of their body to control a computer or a phone just by thinking. In fact, you can interact with a number of people who've done this online. Right now, they're on on the 𝕏 platform, you can DM them, I think, and they'll reply by thinking. Then there's a second device, very similar to the first one, called BLINDSIGHT, which will enable people who are blind to see, including people who have been blind from birth. It'll interface directly with the visual cortex in the brain. And hopefully we'll be able to do the first blind site implant in a human within the next 12 months, I'd say I'm quite confident that we can do that. And then I also think it's quite likely, if not close to certain, that we'll be able to enable somebody who's has a severed spinal column to walk again, and by taking the signals from the brain, bridging them over the severed connection in the spine and re energizing the nerves past the point that's broken, like you can just think of it like some wires got broken, and if you can bridge the signals, your body will work again."

NEURALINK GIVES ALS PATIENT A VOICE LIKE NEVER BEFORE Imagine being stuck in your own head with a thousand thoughts but no way to say them. That was Brad G. Smith’s life with ALS until Neuralink stepped in with a chip that reads his brain signals. Before this brain implant, Smith had to rely on eye-tracking software that only worked in the dark. He joked it turned him into Batman without the gadgets. Now, he can control a computer cursor and talk to his family even in bright daylight. The Neuralink implant uses a thousand tiny wires that pick up signals from his brain and send them to a MacBook Pro. At first, they tried linking it to his hand movements but that was a flop. Turns out his tongue was the star of the show and clenching his jaw worked as a click. Smith says he does not even think about it anymore. His brain just knows what to do, like a pro gamer making split second moves. Thanks to Neuralink, Smith can race his kids in Mario Kart and talk to them faster than ever. He even uses an AI chatbot that comes up with clever replies. Once, it suggested giving a bouquet of carrots to a friend’s horse-loving girlfriend. For Smith, ALS may have taken a lot but Neuralink has given him something priceless: a way to speak up and stay connected to the world. Source: FOX

Elon Musk is right here. So many people are unaware of Neuralink, and how it’s going to change the lives of so many. In a new interview this morning: "Neuralink is creating a cybernetic interface to AI from your brain. It has enabled people who have completely lost their brain-body connection to speak again (phone, computer). We believe it will enable people to walk again. Let’s say someone had a severe spinal injury, you can transmit those signals to a second neural implant, and reanimate the body so people can use their limbs. We think at some point, live a normal life by effectively bridging the signals from the brain to past the point in the spine where the damage has occurred. Later this year, we expect to do our first implant for Blindsight. Where even if someone has lost both eyes, or the optic nerve, or perhaps if they were blind at birth, it will give them initially limited vision, but over time, very precise vision. Perphaps Superhuman." We should be talking about this more.

Dr. Daniel Monti just revealed a potentially massive breakthrough in Parkinson’s disease treatment. And it’s much simpler than you think. He just published his third study on a molecule called N-acetylcysteine, or “NAC for short.” “This is a powerful antioxidant.” “It actually protects the liver.” “We know that it does a lot of different things, but the important thing for us is that it’s a precursor to something called glutathione.” “Glutathione protects the brain when there’s damage or oxidative stress and we lose it as we age.” “And when we get sick, we lose it even more.” “So we want to have a way to efficiently increase glutathione in the brain, particularly when we have a neurodegenerative disorder such as Parkinson’s disease.” “We hypothesized early on that giving infused N-acetylcysteine would increase glutathione and actually have a positive impact on Parkinson’s disease.” “We’ve published three studies on this and we look at brain scans in all of them.” “And what we’ve seen is that the N-acetylcysteine increases the efficiency of dopamine in the brain, which is the neurotransmitter or chemical that gets lost in Parkinson’s disease and causes all of those symptoms.” “Our most recent study shows that it improves the way the brain connects to itself or talks to itself the functional connectivity in the brain.” “To be in the study, you couldn’t have changes in your Parkinson's medications for a period of time.” “In both the control group and in the NAC group, people were on their Parkinson’s medications, but if they got the NAC, they did better.” “Their brain came alive in a way that wasn’t happening before.”

🔥🚨BREAKING: Nectome The Portland Oregon tech company that Sam Altman is on the waitlist for since 2016 to kill him so they can upload his Brian to the internet which would allow him to live forever just confirmed that they have successful reanimated a dead pig’s brain meaning they are about to be ready to take human brains like Sam Altman’s and upload their consciousness online. An entire mammalian brain has been successfully preserved using a technique that will now be offered to people who are terminally ill. The intention is to preserve all the neural information thought necessary to one day reconstruct the mindof the person it once belonged to. Borys Wróbel at Nectome: “They would need to donate their brain and body for scientific research,” in Portland, Oregon, a research company focused on memory preservation. “But what we are offering, as a company, is for their body and brain to be kept, essentially indefinitely, in the hope that sometime, in the future, it would be possible to read out the information from the brain and reconstruct the person… to allow them to continue, in effect, with their life.”

Dyno Therapeutics co-founder Sam Sinai on how his team cracked the blood-brain barrier well enough to reach 50% of neurons with a single injection: "For brain specifically, the brain has this extra layer of defense called the blood brain barrier. It's really put there to prevent anything to get in." "What we have done is actually in primates we can show that we can get up more than 50% of neurons, through a systemic injection." "You're just injecting in the veins, and then the virus actually makes its way into the brain." "Neurons are a primary target, but it could be in some cases glial cells, depending on the disease. Solving pan brain, meaning all of brain delivery, is a key objective there."

Neuralink implant is a hardware upgrade that sits flush with the skull, replacing a small piece of bone with a battery-powered Bluetooth device "This Neuralink device has a battery, Bluetooth, and an inductive charger. Then, you've also got to insert the electrodes The electrodes are very carefully inserted with a robot that we developed. It is very carefully putting in the electrodes and avoiding any veins or arteries, so it doesn't create trauma It's basically implanted in your skull. It would be flush with your skull, so you basically take out a chunk of skull and replace it with the Neuralink device You insert the electrode threads very carefully into the brain, stitch it up, and you wouldn't even know that somebody has it"

Apple recently filed a patent number US20230225659A1 The new earbuds described in the patent will allow Apple to read your brain waves “Earbuds that are designed and patented by Apple to literally read your brain waves, record your brain waves — You're not going to believe what these guys have the control to do with these. Check this out. The patent is for a bio signal sensing device using dynamic selection of electrodes. This is absolutely Apple, it is 2023 and it gets not good. Brain activity can be monitored using electrodes placed on the scalp of a user. The electrodes may in some case be placed inside or around the outer ear of the user. Measuring the brain activity using electrodes placed in and around the outer ear may be preferred due to benefits such as reduced device mobility and decreased visibility of the electrodes when compared to other devices. — And look, it says for accurate measurement, A brain activity using an ear electroencephalography, oh my God, ear electroencephalography, EEG device.“ It can measure biosignals, including electroencephalography (EEG), electrical brain activity, along with others like EMG (muscle), EOG (eye movement), heart rate and more

If you were in a car accident and suffered brain swelling, no one would call the swelling itself a disease. They'd call it an injury. I think autism works the same way. It isn't a disease in itself. It's a symptom of a brain injury. A vaccine works by triggering an inflammatory response in the immune system, because that inflammation produces the antibody response the vaccine is designed to elicit. For some children, the body absorbs that event without consequence. But what if the inflammation is severe, or what if a child has an underlying mitochondrial disorder, a weakness in the cellular energy needed to stop that inflammatory event before it reaches the brain? I think that's where autism comes from, when the inflammatory event makes it to the brain and causes swelling there. Most vaccine inserts list encephalitis and encephalopathy as a side effect, which is exactly that, a brain swelling event. Once that swelling goes down, the outcome depends on how severe it was. Tourette's, which is also a symptom of brain injury. Autism. Or something like ADD or ADHD.

Neuralink’s new approach inserts ultra-thin electrode threads directly through the intact dura and into the cortex....without cutting the dura open This is a huge surgical milestone The dura is the tough protective membrane covering the brain. Normally, reaching the cortex means cutting through that layer....one of the most delicate steps in brain surgery This could make BCI surgery: • Less invasive • More precise • More repeatable • Easier to scale • Safer for future patients The participant was controlling a cursor with their thoughts within an hour of surgery, with recovery progressing as expected This is a major step toward bringing brain-computer interfaces to people who have lost the ability to move, communicate, or interact with the world normally
