This breakthrough paves the way for advancements in brain-computer interface technology.
Implanting tiny, flexible electrode threads into the brain allows Neuralink's system to detect and stimulate neural activity, enabling the recording and decoding of signals from individual neurons.
Inserting the Neuralink chip and electrode threads requires a precise surgical procedure performed by skilled neurosurgeons.
Neuralink is set to address vision deficiency and mobility issues in its initial human trials, following the FDA approval. The selection of volunteers is yet to begin.
