NEURALINK JUST MADE A MAJOR SURGERY BREAKTHROUGH Neuralink has updated its surgical procedure and completely removed a key step. Instead of removing the dura (the tough protective membrane around the brain), the implant threads now go directly through the dura without needing to take it out. This change makes... show more

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

The dura is the brain's armor: a membrane so tough that a surgeon normally cuts through it with a scalpel. For the first time in our clinical trials, we inserted the electrode threads of our implant straight through the dura and into the cortex, keeping the dura intact. Here's how we did it 🧵

NEWS: Elon Musk's company, Neuralink, has now successfully implanted its brain chip into five humans. The patients can control a mouse using only their thoughts. Neuralink aims to implant its new brain chip, Blindsight, into a human patient for the first time in late 2025/early 2026, likely in the UAE. The device aims to restore sight to people who are completely blind.

“The Blindsight device from Neuralink will enable even those who have lost both eyes and their optic nerve to see. Provided the visual cortex is intact, it will even enable those who have been blind from birth to see for the first time. Neuralink Device threads will go through the dura, without the need to remove it. This is a big deal. With Neuralink implant interfacing directly to the visual cortex, even those who are completely blind will be able to see again. Computer vision will be limited at first, like early computer graphics but ultimately will exceed the best human eyes.” — Elon Musk

Neuralink today unveiled its next-generation surgical robot. It's able to insert threads into the brain in 1.5 seconds vs 17 seconds in their previous gen surgical robot. This new surgical robot is also now compatible with 99% of the global human population. They've also increased the depth the needle can insert threads and can reach more than 50mm from the surface of the brain. The needle cartridge is now 95% less expensive to make vs previous version.

Elon Musk’s startup Neuralink has announced a breakthrough: a paralyzed man has managed to control a drone using only the power of thought. The patient, who suffered a spinal cord injury, used an implanted brain interface to steer the drone and later wrote computer code linking the Neuralink chip to the drone’s control system. It marks the first time a person with complete paralysis has remotely operated a device without any physical movement or external sensors. Neuralink says the technology could pave the way for restoring independence to people with severe injuries.

🇺🇸 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 the possibilities offered by the combination of Optimus and Neuralink: “Long term is to say, if you take parts of the Optimus humanoid robot and you combine that with a Neuralink, let's say somebody has lost their arms or legs. Well, we could actually attach an Optimus arm or Optimus legs and do a Neuralink implant so that the motor commands from your brain that would go to your biological arms, now go to your robot arms or robot legs. And again, you'd have basically Cybernetics Superpowers.”

🇺🇸ELON UNVEILS “BLINDSIGHT” TO RESTORE VISION FOR THE BLIND Neuralink just announced BlindSight, a new brain implant designed to restore sight in people who are completely blind. The device bypasses damaged eyes entirely—sending visual data straight to the brain. Elon says the tech “will go far beyond what is possible with biological eyes.” It’s still early, but Neuralink has already begun human trials. Source: Community Notes & Violations

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"

Abuja hospital now offers LASER postrate treatment with no surgical cuts, patients go home same day Eleos Specialist Hospital, Abuja, has commenced Thulium Fiber Laser Enucleation of The Prostate (ThuFLEP) treatments/operations. The procedure involves using a special LASER technology which was recently introduced to completely remove the enlarged prostate without any surgical cuts to the body. With this new LASER, the enlarged prostate is completely removed no matter the size. It offers the advantage of no surgical cuts, little or no blood loss, with the patient going home either same day of the procedure or just a day after the procedure. Other advantage of the procedure includes the fact that the procedure is done with the patient awake and there is no loss of erections following the procedure. This new LASER technology has some modifications that have given it advantages over previous LASERS. It is also used for other medical purposes like the treatment of kidney stones, etc.
