Neuralink's brain-computer interface, Link, has received the FDA's 'breakthrough' designation for its ability to restore communication in individuals with severe speech impairments, particularly those with conditions like ALS. Bradford G. Smith, an ALS patient, shared his experience using Link, which allows him to type and communicate by controlling a computer cursor with his brain. This development signifies a major advancement in technology aimed at assisting those with neurological disorders, and Neuralink is also exploring further applications, including vision restoration as part of its future endeavors.
"I am typing this with my brain," Smith wrote. "It is my primary communication." This illustrates the groundbreaking potential of Neuralink's technology in restoring communication.
Smith demonstrated how Link enabled him to control a computer cursor to communicate, highlighting the BCI's ability to interface with external devices.
