Using monkey brain data to operate robotic arms! 🙉 Project Jenkins explores brain-computer interfaces by decoding neural activity into robotic movement and generating synthetic brain data from motion patterns. Using neural recordings from a macaque monkey named Jenkins, researchers developed models to decode brain signals into robotic arm movements and encode movement data into simulated neural activity. The project utilizes robotic arms and an interactive web console for real-time brain data generation from joystick inputs. The research paves the way for adaptive brain-computer interfaces by modeling brain activity more flexibly. Congrats to authors Dima Yanovsky, and Andrii Zahorodnii! 🦾

Neuralink’s first patient in the UK, Paul, who is paralyzed by motor neuron disease, has received a brain implant. Just hours after surgery, he was able to control a computer with his thoughts and is now using it to play games and regain independence.

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

Max Hodak (Max Hodak) is the co-founder of Neuralink and founder of Science Corporation, a company building brain-computer interfaces that can restore sight. Science has developed a tiny retinal implant that stimulates cells in the eye to help blind patients see again. More than 40 patients have already received the treatment in clinical trials, including one who recently read a full novel for the first time in over a decade. In this episode of How to Build the Future, Max joined Garry Tan to discuss how BCIs work, what it takes to engineer the brain, and why brain-computer interfaces may become one of the most important technologies of the next decade. 00:26 — The retinal chip helping blind patients see 01:51 — What brain-computer interfaces really are 03:37 — Could BCIs enhance intelligence? 05:44 — The brain’s incredible plasticity 09:23 — What it feels like to see with an implant 13:01 — Can we restore full human vision? 17:55 — Is the brain basically a computer? 24:59 — Max Hodak’s path into brain tech 28:57 — How Neuralink actually started 33:10 — How the brain represents information 39:47 — Bio-hybrid brain interfaces 44:32 — Building the company Science 51:27 — The future of BCIs and human longevity
