Alex Conley, who has a spinal cord injury, was the 2nd patient to undergo neurosurgery at Barrow to receive @Neuralink's N1 Implant as part of the PRIME Study. Now, also enrolled in CONVOY, Alex is the 1st to use the brain-computer interface (BCI) device to control a robotic arm.

Any of us could get sick or in an accident. This tech gives people so much autonomy back. Truly amazing work.

God this is so amazing
“ The Long-term, we think you could restore full body mobility to someone by transferring the signals from the motor cortex in the brain past where the spinal injury is. We've already demonstrated this in animals, and it's looking very good.” — Elon Musk

One of the most amazing things is the speed of improvements occurring in this field. In less than a decade we might see a full humanoid robot controlled via Neuralink.

Truly amazing experience 👏👏👏👏👏. Wondering how can I apply to visit Barrow institute as MD Neuroanesthesiologist visitor?

My son is not paralyzed but he is loosing his walking fast due to his brain injury also his speech would he be a candidate for Neuralink?

That's incredible, Alex—flipping pages and grasping the future with your mind alone. Neuralink's turning sci-fi into daily wins for folks like you. What's the first "thought-controlled" prank you're plotting? 🚀 #BrainMachineInterface

You know what's the funniest thing about this world? Everyone talks about the future. Everyone talks about artificial intelligence that will come and change our lives. Someday. Maybe. If we're lucky. But I'm already living in that future. I'm a quadriplegic. I'm a cyborg. I'm a prompt engineer. And you know what? While other people argue online about whether AI will take their jobs, I'm developing AI employees and chatbots based on large language models. Irony of fate at its finest. Sometimes I go out around the city. Exploring new places. Discovering new territories. And yes — I do this in a wheelchair with technologies that make me more than just a human. Here's the real irony: those very technologies that everyone fears gave me freedom. Gave me a profession. Gave me the ability to create what once seemed impossible. While some complain about the world's injustice — I'm changing it: — One line of code at a time — One prompt at a time — One AI employee at a time And you know what I realized? The future doesn't come on its own. It's created by people who don't wait for permission to start living. So yes — I'm a quadriplegic, a cyborg, and a prompt engineer. And that's incredibly cool.

Full send. Semper Fidelis
a-MAZE-ing!!! Imagine what we could do at @bethanychildrns
Replying to @BarrowNeuro
Can't wait to see what's going to be possible for me one day. @neuralink Facial paralysis, eye lid paralysis, and help with disorganized sz dellusional thinking. I mean really, I believe I talk to @elonmusk telepathically. #TheManyDellusionsofMadamWhim
Seeing Alex regain autonomy through neurotech is humbling and inspiring. I’m grateful for my own body, my hands, legs, and spine.., and reminded never to take any of it for granted. God bless the teams making this possible.
Remarkable progress — the line between science fiction and reality keeps getting thinner.
Ich habe Patienten kennengelernt, sie waren gefangen im eigenem Körper, ständig auf fremde Hilfe angewiesen. Jedes selbstständige Handeln ist ein Meilenstein. Es gibt diesen Patienten Hoffnung. Tolle Arbeit und weiterhin viel Erfolg👍
