Creating a general-purpose, high-bandwidth interface to the brain

He’s now working with our engineers to explore using the implant to play his favorite video games like Dawn of War and perform other tasks that could enrich and restore autonomy in his daily life.
🇬🇧 We’re excited to announce our first participant in the UK! Paul, who is paralyzed due to motor neuron disease, received his Neuralink implant at @uclh earlier this month and was able to control a computer with his thoughts just hours after surgery.
ALS took Nick’s arm mobility. Now, he can control a robotic arm with his Neuralink device to feed himself. “Life with my BCI has been and continues to be so surreal and so rewarding. Can’t wait to see what comes next!”
There are now 12 people around the world with Neuralink implants. Collectively, they’ve had their devices for 2,000 days and accumulated over 15,000 hours of use. We look forward to continuing to explore the possibilities of neural interfaces with all of our participants!
Moments after implantation, our device can provide visibility into real-time neural activity. This video shows the gradual increase in activity as one of our recent participants wakes up post-procedure 🌅🧠
🇨🇦 We just completed two surgeries in Canada—our first procedures outside the United States! This marks an important step towards bringing our technology to more people around the world.
🇬🇧 We’re launching a clinical study in Great Britain! In partnership with @uclh and @NewcastleHosps, we’re exploring how our brain-computer interface can restore digital autonomy to individuals with severe paralysis by enabling them to control devices with their thoughts.
School's out for summer! Here's daddy-daughter time with one of our participants.
Everyone has their own journey with Neuralink, but we’ve seen peak independent use of over 100 hours / week!
Alex, our second participant, controls a virtual robot hand with his mind to play rock, paper, scissors against his uncle.
Watch the latest update from the Neuralink team.
🇦🇪 We’re launching our first clinical trial in the Middle East at Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi in partnership with the Department of Health Abu Dhabi! The UAE-PRIME trial explores how individuals with motor and speech impairment can use thought to control devices & communicate.
🪡 We often get questions about the safety of our implant’s electrode threads. In this video, Dave, a member of our technical staff, shares data highlighting the leap forward in safety that our technology provides.
