Neuralink recently initiated its CONVOY study, welcoming its first participant, Alex, who became paralyzed from the neck down following an accident. The study builds on insights from the PRIMARY Study, where Alex and others demonstrated how Neuralink's brain-computer interface (BCI) has transformed their lives. With Link, Alex can design 3D objects and use graphing software, enabling him to contribute to his family's business. The CONVOY study aims to evaluate the potential of Link in controlling assistive robotic devices, expanding independence for users.
It's such an amazing feeling being able to go from a concept to an actual working piece of equipment that does exactly what I want. I want everyone [disabled and non-disabled] to have the desire to create something new.
ARA control expands autonomy beyond smart devices and could allow people with paralysis to perform tasks in daily life such as feeding themselves and handling physical objects.
