The Neuralink brain-computer interface aims to enable quadriplegic individuals to control external devices with their thoughts, with over 100 participants enrolled in its patient registry.
Neuralink's first patient provided insights on how the brain implant could offer long-term independence, with a detailed description of the implant's technology and functionality.
The FDA has approved Neuralink to implant the device in a second patient, with plans to include up to 10 patients by the end of the year for early clinical trials.
The technology behind Neuralink involves a chip with 64 threads, each containing 32 electrodes, to pick up signals from neurons and transmit them to an external computer via Bluetooth.
