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.

As a magnetic resonance imaging professional, having something like this implanted, may prevent you from having critical imaging done such as stroke assessments as this can be quite unsafe in MRI given the interaction with the magnetic field and radio-waves. I seriously hope companies producing this do the proper ASTM testing and consult MRI safety professionals before mass production and implantation.

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 3 ай бұрын

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”.

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.
