"Neuralink recently shared a video of Alex, the second human recipient of its Telepathy device. Alex is part of Neuralink's PRIME study, and he was selected to be the first patient to control a robotic arm using only his mind. As could be seen in the video, Alex is now capable of operating household appliances using a robotic arm that he controls with his mind."
"In response to the video, which was posted by Neuralink co-founder and President DJ Seo, the startup's Head of Surgery Mechanical Engineering, Danish Hussain, joked that the company is really just helping out people. This was despite critics arguing that Neuralink is some giant evil corporation. "We're literally just out here helping the homies eat pretzels lol," the Head of Surgery ME wrote."
"The Neuralink Head of Surgery ME's comments caught quite a bit of attention on X, with some, such as Elon Musk, highlighting that Neuralink is actually a pretty small company. Other commenters also asked whether Neuralink would eventually train its patients with Tesla Optimus V2, a humanoid robot. Hussain shared an exciting response: "We're starting simple, but this will happen very soon!" he wrote in a post on X."
Neuralink is conducting human trials of its Telepathy brain implant, with a participant named Alex controlling a robotic arm using only his thoughts to operate household appliances. The PRIME study includes Alex as the second human recipient of the device. Neuralink indicates plans to extend brain-controlled capabilities to Tesla Optimus V2 humanoid robots, aiming to enable patients to control Optimus with neural interfaces. Observers noted the company's small size. Successful integration could allow patients to perform complex tasks and gain mobility assistance through remote control of humanoid robots, representing a major advance in neuroprosthetic applications.
