Neuralink just released a major new update on how it is training brain-computer interfaces Participants have now generated more than 50,000 HOURS of unlabeled neural data Neuralink is now pretraining neural encoders on thousands of hours of each participant’s brain activity before using them for cursor control And the... results are already impressive: • Calibration time dropped from ~55 minutes per week to ~10 minutes for some participants • Multiple participants set new personal BCI speed records • Three participants surpassed the previous 10.39 bits/sec benchmark • One participant reached 11.32 bits/sec — a new BCI record • Some decoders stayed strong for weeks • One decoder was still usable more than 1.5 years later The most important part is what comes next Neuralink is moving toward foundation models for BCI...systems that can learn from massive amounts of neural data and eventually generalize across people and tasks The goal is to make brain-computer interfaces faster, more stable, require less calibration and eventually work more like a general-purpose platform Neuralink is going from controlling a cursor To building an interface between the brain and computers at scaleshow more

On the motor-cortex implants, some participants map imagined finger movements to keys and have reached about 40 words per minute. That is spelled output from movement intent, not overheard inner speech.

Same playbook as LLMs: pretrain on everything, fine tune for the task. Calibration collapsing from 55 minutes to 10 is few shot learning for brains. The mind is becoming just another modality.

This is insane. 50k hours of brain data is like building ChatGPT but for the mind

Gereksiz2 days ago

Fifty thousand hours of unlabeled data pretrains the encoder on each person’s own signals before cursor control. Cutting calibration from 55 to 10 minutes shows stability. 11.32 bits/s is a new speed record; cross-person generalization is still a goal, not a result.

Billionaire Alexandr Wang says he wants to wait to have kids until Neuralink is very advanced, because children’s brains in the first seven years are more flexible and can learn brain-computer interfaces, unlocking more potential than adult brains Speaking on a podcast, Wang explained that he wants to wait until Neuralink or similar BCI technology is reliable and widely available. His reasoning is that children born into such a world could integrate the technology directly into their developing brains, rather than having to adapt to it later in life He pointed to neuroplasticity, the brain’s heightened ability to form neural connections in early childhood, arguing that during the first ~7 years, children could learn to use brain-computer interfaces in ways adults simply cannot At a deeper level, Wang’s comments reflect a broader concern: artificial intelligence is advancing at an exponential pace, while human biological evolution is slow. He suggests that direct neural links to AI may eventually be necessary for humans to remain cognitively competitive in a future shaped by superintelligence Source: Alexandr Wang, Shawn Ryan Show

The Mathematics of Moving a Cursor with Neural Signals What might Neuralink Neuralink be doing Mathematically? Consider the task of moving a cursor without touching it. The machine is not looking for a full thought, a sentence, or an image. For this Control problem, the useful object is an intended movement state. sₜ = (pₜ, vₜ) Here, pₜ is the cursor position at time t, and vₜ is the velocity the user is trying to express. The implant records neural activity through many electrode channels, then the decoder tries to estimate vₜ from that activity. Neuralink’s PRIME material describes the N1 Implant as recording and transmitting brain activity with the goal of enabling computer control. For channel i, a simple population model is rᵢ(t) ≈ bᵢ + aᵢ max(0, dᵢ · vₜ) + ηᵢ(t) where rᵢ(t) is the measured activity, bᵢ is baseline activity, aᵢ is channel gain, dᵢ is the channel’s preferred movement direction, and ηᵢ(t) is noise. One channel is not the command. The useful signal is the pattern across many channels: rₜ = (r₁(t), r₂(t), …, rₙ(t)) The decoder subtracts the baseline vector b and applies a learned map W: v̂ₜ = W(rₜ − b) This gives an estimate of the intended velocity. The cursor then updates by pₜ₊₁ = pₜ + Δt v̂ₜ This is the loop shown in the render: neural activity -> decoded velocity -> cursor motion The cortical network and electrode threads show the measurement side. The N1 Implant is described as using 1,024 electrodes distributed across 64 flexible threads, each thinner than a human hair. The decoder panel shows the computational side with activity rₜ, decoded velocity v̂ₜ, and the cursor state pₜ changing over time. A noisy biological pattern becomes a state estimate. That estimate becomes motion on a screen. Therefore, the first lesson is not that Neuralink makes the brain a screen. For cursor control, the Mathematics is more precise: A small piece of intention is represented as a hidden state, measured through neural activity, decoded as a vector, and turned into action. #Neuralink #BrainComputerInterface #NeuralEngineering #Mathematics #StateEstimation #Neuroscience #MachineLearning #BiomedicalEngineering

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

This perspective will be more intuitive. Fourier is building a data acquisition and training platform that integrates non-invasive brain-computer interfaces and humanoid robots. This wealth of data will enhance the intelligence level of GR-3. The goal is for GR-3 to accurately identify the brain intention signals of stroke patients during future rehabilitation training and respond in real time to guide patients in performing rehabilitation movements. For example, lifting the left hand, picking up a block from the table, etc. Of course, GR-3 can also become a life assistant controlled by a human BCI. Imagine that people with mobility impairments could also issue commands to GR-3 via BCI to open the refrigerator and get a drink.

Elon Musk shared major updates on Neuralink today. Neuralink is building a direct interface between the human brain and AI. The technology has already helped people with severe paralysis use computers and phones again. Musk says it could eventually help people walk by bypassing damaged areas of the spinal cord. Neuralink is also working toward restoring vision, even for people who no longer have functioning optic nerves or eyes. Early restored vision may begin at low resolution before improving dramatically over time. Musk believes the technology could eventually enable vision beyond normal human capability. He described restoring movement and sight as one of the most important breakthroughs imaginable for humanity.

Brain-controlled exoskeletons to train humanoid robots! 🧠 Fourier just presented human tele-operators using brain control interfaces and exoskeletal arms to train humanoid robots on home tasks. The brain control interface is the interesting part. Instead of using a controller or joystick to teleoperate, the operator's movements and intentions are captured more naturally through the exoskeleton and BCI. This means the demonstrations are more fluid, more human-like, and better suited for training robots to perform delicate home tasks. Multiple tele-operators are simultaneously generating training data across multiple robots. This is how you build the dataset needed for eventual full autonomy, without waiting years for it to arrive. This might be the bridge between "robots that work in controlled environments" and "robots that work in homes." Not full autonomy right away, but trusted human intelligence operating through a robot body, getting better with every task completed. ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →

WOW: The first Neuralink patient just spoke out—humbled by Elon Musk and his technology — “I just can’t even put it into words.” This is truly incredible. Noland Arbaugh was paralyzed after a spinal cord injury. Then he got a Neuralink brain implant (BCI) and regained control of his life. Now he’s speaking from experience about what Elon Musk and his team have made possible: “It’s an incredible privilege to be a part of this, and have somebody like Elon Musk—one of the most powerful men in the world—so involved, so interested in affecting my life and people with disabilities right now.” “I just can’t even put it into words.” And he had this to say about the Neuralink team: “The guys and gals at Neuralink, they are the hardest workers that I’ve ever met in my life and they have such passion for helping people.”

A startup called Sabi just came out of stealth with a beanie that reads your thoughts. 70,000 to 100,000 miniature EEG sensors woven into the fabric. You put it on like a winter hat and type by imagining the words. Sabi's bet is that if you throw enough sensors at the skull, you don't need to open it. They've already logged 100,000 hours of brain data from 100 volunteers to train a "brain foundation model." First product ships by the end of 2026. A baseball cap version is next. Backed by Vinod Khosla, who also wrote an early check to OpenAI. Khosla: "The biggest and baddest application of BCI is if you can talk to your computer by thinking about it. If you're going to have a billion people use BCI for access to their computers every day, it can't be invasive." The first consumer BCI won't look like a medical device, but instead like something you already own.

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.
