Neuralink is a neurotechnology company co-founded by Elon Musk with the aim of developing and implementing brain-machine interface (BMI) devices. The goal of Neuralink is to create a direct connection between the human brain and external devices, enabling seamless communication and interaction.
The primary objective of Neuralink is to enhance human capabilities and address neurological disorders through the use of advanced BMI technology. By establishing a high-bandwidth interface between the brain and computers or other devices, Neuralink aims to enable individuals to control digital devices or prosthetic limbs directly with their thoughts.
One of the key innovations of Neuralink is the development of thin, flexible threads known as "neural lace." These threads are smaller than a human hair and can be implanted into the brain using a surgical robot, ensuring precision and minimizing potential damage. The neural lace threads are connected to a small device called the "Link," which is positioned behind the ear and facilitates wireless communication with external devices.
Neuralink has conducted experiments and trials on animals and has also initiated limited human trials to test the safety and effectiveness of its BMI technology. The company focuses on continuously improving the miniaturization and performance of their devices.
By establishing a seamless interface between the human brain and technology, Neuralink envisions potential applications in fields such as treating paralysis, epilepsy, depression, and other neurological conditions.
