Neurolink Update Summer 2025
Elons interessante Seite
9 Patienten, alle gesund
Elon will, dass man 1000x schneller kommunizieren kann
Was sie machen wollen
- Reduce suffering (nach einem Unfall, Krankheiten, Querschnittsgelähmt)
- Using a computer linkmanyone else
- Blindsight: for total lost of vision, blind from birth, in multiple wavelengths (cybernetic enhancement)
- Enhance Human capabilities
- Understand & Expand Consciousness
- Mitigate the risk of AI
Elon argues that we are cyborgs because of our technology (1. layer: limbic system, 2. layer: cortex, 3. layer devices) - embodied cognition
missing phone is like missing limb syndrome (virbrierendes Handy)
high advanced surgical robots built by neurolink
sharing progress openly
Telepathy: only use phones with thoughts
7 participants in USA, canada, UK, UAE einige mit ALS
einer BCI feature:
- web grid
- wrote code to drive a small vehicle
- able to turn on TV
usage:
average 50h/week
peak 100h/week
sie fangen gerade erst an
sie wollen ein whole-brain-interface bauen
- listen to neurons everywhere
- stimulate neurons anywhere
- ast-wireless data transfer
- 24/7 usability
- full automated surgery
3 prototypes:
- motor & speech
- high channel read
- telepathy
- visual cortex
- high channel write
- blindsight
- deep regions
- reaching any brain region
- deep
- neuropathic pain
- parkinson
- limbic system
- into sulci
tehy want to
- increase number of neurons they can see from a single channel
- mixed signal chip design to increase channel count
today:
- 1000 electodes in motor cortex
next quarter planning to implant in speech cortex (brocas and werneckes)
in 2026: triple number of electodes + first blindsight aprticipant to enable navigation
2027 increase channel count + enable multiple implants
2028 access any part of the brain for psychiatric conditions, pain, disregulation + what it means to innovate with ai
→ fundamental technology that allows us to have hundres thousands of channels for multiple implants to reach the entire brain
Was kann ein Neurolink device heute:
- control devices simply by thinking
- record-braking control on day one
- plug it in through usb to a lot of diferent devices
- playing mario cart
- playing call of duty
Brad cannot speak and also has ALS.
- before eye gaze machines (but you need a dark room for this)
- for six ears unable to leave room
- he can go outside now
x
alex with spinal cord injury. cannot draw or write anymore. he got a robot arm, now he can use it
playing rock paper scissors
working with tesla getting an optimus hand
BCI:
implants can bridge broken connections
- one implant in the motor cortex
- one in the spinal cord
- bridge and then walk again
- thats the preferred outcome
elon is confident at some point in the future they are able to restore full body functionality
single-neuron recording from 1000 channels simutanously from motor cortex and a bit lower from Broca’s and Wernicke’s Area
with the same ML pipeline of the surgical robot
instead of typing or moving mouse, you can interact with your coputer at the speed of your thoughts. the computer will be able to understand
done with AI
- also can store thoguhts and store them privately
User experience:
- every
- right and left thumb doesnt work because the dominant thumb overshadows the weaker one
- this is why you have to imagine two different body parts for the two joysticks when playing
15min training only to full control
Bindsight:
- glasses with embedded camera + receive from implant in visual cortex
- restoring functionality
