Elon Musk says people with Neuralink brain chips will eventually "be able to have full-body control and sensors from a Tesla Optimus robot, so you could basically inhabit an Optimus robot. Not just the hand, the whole thing. You could mentally remote into an Optimus robot. The future is gonna be weird, but pretty cool."

🇺🇸 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 says the vast majority of brain diseases are ultimately fixable with a Neuralink device "If you think of the brain like a computer, effectively like a circuit board, you can say if there were some short circuits or some circuits that should be there but aren't, we can fix those Basically, it's kind of like fixing a circuit board. The vast majority of brain issues, I think, are fixable with a Neuralink device. It’s a fine-grained way of reading and writing electrical signals in the brain at high precision If there’s an electrical storm like epilepsy, you can interrupt that storm. In the case of blindness, if somebody's lost their optic nerve or both eyes, you can still stimulate the visual cortex Anything that is a function of signals in or out, if that is the nature of the problem, it can be fixed ultimately with a Neuralink device."

Elon Musk’s company, Neuralink has just received FDA approval to start testing brain chip implants in humans! This is important because Neuralink is working on helping blind people see and solving many types of neurological disorders, like depression, dementia, seizures, strokes, and eventually helping paralyzed people walk. You may have seen a couple years ago they implanted two chips in a monkey to play a video game with just its mind- that same concept will now be tested in paralyzed patients so they can do daily tasks on a computer without needing their limbs. Neuralink is a small (~300 employees), but mighty company, with grand ambitions. The company was started in 2016 by Elon Musk and several others. This major milestone of getting FDA approval is a huge step in bringing this amazing technology to those who need it most. We focus on news and updates related to Neuralink.

Elon Musk explains one of the most optimistic futures imaginable: Neuralink and Optimus restoring lost human abilities through real-world cyborg technology And the first people this could help are the ones who need it most: People who are paralyzed. People who are locked in. People who lost the ability to move, speak, or interact with the world normally like Stephen Hawking Neuralink is already helping patients control computers and robots with their thoughts "They can now communicate almost as quickly as we are communicating right now" “That’s going to continue to accelerate” But Elon’s next vision is even bigger: Use Neuralink to read motor-cortex signals from the brain, combine that with sensory feedback from the somatosensory cortex, and connect it to Optimus-style robotic limbs In simple terms: A person who lost their legs could one day control robotic legs with their mind - just pure thought. No buttons or joysticks Elon called it a real-life “Six Million Dollar Man” concept… but instead of being science fiction or insanely expensive, it could cost around $60,000 Neuralink gives the brain a digital output. Optimus gives the body robotic capability Together, they could create a path for people to walk again, move again, communicate again, and regain independence they thought was gone forever This is the future worth building

Elon Musk Elon Musk on Neuralink: “So, when I emphasized the purpose of Neuralink, like what do we, what's our goal, our goal is to solve important spine and brain problems with a seamlessly implanted device. So, you wanna have a device that you can basically put in your head and feel and look totally normal, but it solves some important problem in your brain or spine. And the reality is that almost everyone, over time, will develop brain and spine problems. These range from minor to very severe, but if you live long enough, everyone's gonna basically have some kind of neurological disorder, from memory loss to brain damage. But the thing that's important to appreciate is that an implantable device can actually solve these problems. I think a lot of people don't quite realise that, but all of your senses, your sight, hearing, feeling, pain, these are all electrical signals sent by neurons to your brain.”

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
