By the end of this video, you'll know exactly what Neuralink has accomplished so far, and what the company plans to do next. We'll go over how many people are living with the implant, what they can currently do with it, how Neuralink expanded trials across multiple countries, and what new features like speech decoding and vision restoration are on the horizon. Founded by Elon Musk in 2016, Nurling set out to build the world's first scalable brain computer interface.Technology that could restore movement, sp ...

Hey there, welcome to Neuropod, a channel covering everything related to Elon Musk's brain computer interface company, Neurolink. My name is Ryan Tanaka, and in this update episode, the first thing we'll cover is that Neuralink has officially announced they've completed their first human trial surgery in the United Kingdom. I'll discuss what was shared, and then we have this video of Nick Ray, Neuralink's eighth patient, controlling an assisted robotic arm.Then Neuralink has leased a 144,000q foot property ...

You mean human consciousness or >> Yes. >> Yeah. I mean it's not like uh immediate um but if you say it down the road uh would you be able to say with a neural link have a snapshot of or at least an approximate snapshot of somebody's mind and then upload that approximate snapshot to uh an optimist body.I think I think that at some point that technology becomes possible. Um and it it it probably less than 20 years. Yeah.But of course you won't quite be the same, you know, be a little different. Um because yo ...

Hey everyone, I wanted to jump on here and share some breaking news. Neuralink has implanted in their first human trial participant in the United Kingdom. Earlier today on X, they announced this. They said, "We excited to announce our first participant in the UK. Paul, who is paralyzed due to motor neuron disease, received his Neurolink implant at UCLH earlier this month and was able to control a computer with his thoughts just after surgery. And the University of College London Hospitals is UCLH.Um, there' ...

This is Neuralink's president DJ Su explaining the company's three-year plan and product roadmap. Remember, Neuralink is developing the most ambitious medical device in the world, a brain implant designed to help with almost any brain problem. So now just to step you through what the product evolution is going to look like in the next 3 years.Uh today what we have is 1,00 electrodes in the motor cortex, the part of the small part of the brain that you see in this animation called the hand knob area. Uh that ...

Elon Musk's company Neuralink has implanted brain chips in at least 12 paralyzed individuals so they can control a computer just with their thoughts alone. But in the latest update presentation, Elon discussed a more philosophical side quest that Neurolink has in mind to help understand consciousness. >> The real answer is we don't know what consciousness is.Um but with Neurolink and uh the progress that the company's making, we'll begin to understand a lot more about consciousness. Um and what does it mean ...
