Neuralink brain chip's first human patient. How does it work? | About That

The first human patient has received an implant from Neuralink, Elon Musk's computer-brain interface company. Andrew Chang explores the complexity of the N1 implant, how it's working in clinical trials, and what Neuralink is trying to achieve with the device.

Yet he still sells these "ideas" even though scientists warn they will never work and explain why in advance. People are gullible. Including those in power. Specially when media hypes this nonsense up to the moon. That's why there's an increase in these "i have a revolutionary new idea! And it works on(insert something that needs the laws of physics to not be the laws of physics)" pseudo-science scammers who convince people because their promises look so revolutionary and the "creator" managed to get a diploma from a reputable university.

Neuralink has a Twitter page as well as Elon they both give updates on this company. As for the hospital/patient information that is private as all medical info is, however Neuralink has a facility in Austin Texas and in Fremont California. So I’d imagine to procedure took place close to one of those places.

[@mehnameehjeff6325]

The implant is called N1, it’s an early design from what the company anticipates to have to evaluate severe neurological diseases and disabilities. Next step is inputting signals into disabled limbs not the brain to regain motor function. I tried to provide more information than speculation, I know it’ll help, because the comment section is inundated with future dystopian sci-fi fans with animosity towards Elon’s wealth, and just copy each other’s comments. Like “ads in your brain” or like “what happens when your subscription ends”.

[@ctrl_alt_del4038]

@ctrl_alt_del4038, Everybody wants to cure sick/disabled people, and people are only worried about criminals who always abuse great inventions for their own crazy benefits as now too they just look it as "money talks bulls walk". And this technology already was known decades ago, and even published for example in Popular Mechanics, 1989, 02, on the page 16 you can find this invention to help disabled people with spinal cord bypass. In that 80s / time the global criminals didn't have that huge evil organised power, just ask anybody who dares to talk about it.

No it cannot. The fibres implanted in the brain cannot stimulate the neurons. They can only detect signals. However, for patients who have lost the use of their limbs due to spinal injury, there will be implants in either the spine or limbs that will read the signals from the brain to cause movement in the limbs. It might be possible for someone to spoof the signals to those devices and make the person move. I'm sure they have thought of that, though.
