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...

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 the surgery: • Less invasive • Faster • Safer • Much easier to scale to more patients

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 🧵

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

Eli Katoa’s brain bleed that required surgery is as serious as it gets - a medical emergency that could have had catastrophic consequences. We look at: - 3 blows to the head - the main mechanisms of injury - a surgery that requires part of the skull to be removed to gain access to the brain - comparisons to Te Maire Martin (who took 3 years off footy) - recovery possibilities Again, thoughts are with Katoa as he recovers.

“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

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.

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.

In collaboration with the Miami Project to Cure Paralysis, the study focuses on helping paralyzed patients control devices with their thoughts. Neuralink’s precision surgical robot will also be evaluated as part of the research. Patients with spinal cord injuries or ALS are eligible, with experts calling this a potential "game-changer" in neurorehabilitation. Source: nbcmiami

The human brain is supposed to be our most protected organ—but startling new research suggests otherwise A 2024 study from São Paulo, Brazil, revealed that microplastics are accumulating in the brain at ten times the rate of other organs, bypassing the blood-brain barrier through inhalation and the olfactory pathway Even more alarming, individuals with Alzheimer’s disease were up to 20 times more likely to have microplastics in their brain compared to those without the disease This groundbreaking discovery highlights a strong link between airborne microplastics, neuroinflammation, and the progression of neurodegenerative diseases

i don't think people realize what just happened with brain implants in china for the first time in history, a brain implant has been approved for commercial sale. you can actually buy one. it's called neo. costs around $15,000. the question everyone asks first: does it actually work? here's what the implant does. a coin-sized chip gets placed on the surface of the brain, right over the area that controls movement. when a paralyzed patient imagines moving their hand, the chip reads that signal, sends it to a computer, and the computer drives a mechanical glove that moves for them picking up objects, gripping utensils, handling daily tasks. all from thought alone. the whole surgery takes an hour and 40 minutes. surgeons thin the skull, open a small window, and place two electrodes directly on the surface of the brain. then they close it up, patients go home within a week. 32 patients with spinal cord injuries were implanted in a clinical trial led by huashan hospital > ALL 32 regained the ability to grab objects through the glove. > 100% improvement rate. > zero adverse side effects. no other brain implant company on earth has received approval to sell their device commercially. elon's neuralink is still in clinical trials. side effects from their more invasive approach have stalled any path to regulatory clearance. china is the only country where you can buy a brain implant right now. this is by design. months before the approval, china published a national policy document with 17 steps to dominate the brain implant industry within 5 years. they want brain-reading devices to be as common as hearing aids. headbands, visors, earpieces that pick up brain signals... all mass-produced for consumers. and the government is coordinating the whole thing. funding the research, building the manufacturing, clearing the regulatory path, all at once. the West is moving painfully slow in comparison...still running controlled trials one patient group at a time. china already has a commercial product, a 72-year-old moving his leg on state television, and a national playbook to own the entire category.
