Elon takes the stage at 49:31, click to skip ahead!

For a father who has a son that suffers from a rare genetic disorder in the brain which causes bouts of debilitating epilepsy, this type of thing gives me hope and maybe soon bring some treatment to allow him to regain some function and movement back for my son and possibly help aid controlling his seizures WITHOUT medication. This will help tremendously for all other people in similar situations like ours, and aid in a loved one or themselves, and open the door to many more applications. I cry with tears of hope and joy. Keep up the good work Elon, and the team at Nerualink, we need this all!

Stage 1: Chip Planted Stage 2: World goes 'wow' Stage 3: You are now 'Dr Otto Octavius'

It amazes me how Elon can jump in conversations and his deep understanding with each head of department .

I have epilepsy from a cerebral bled at 20yo now at 70yo I have been waiting.... Thank you for your work! There are alot of us out there.

I'll wait for final release. Yall can join the beta test.

Fascinating stuff! I am totally blind but have a good optic nerve. I would volunteer in a heartbeat for any experimental testing on vision research.

It has wireless charging so a hat with solar panels could be used to recharge it.

Neuralink's work is inspiring. I can't wait to see the next demo.

Imagine hacker attacks that play '' never gonna give u up '' inside your brain XD

Congratulations Elon, regards from a Young Engineer & a such big fan from México!! 🇲🇽 👋🤓

Cortana: "Me. Inside your head. Now."

56:50 gives getting a song stuck in your head a new meaning.

Why no one ask as if there is a possibility that could improve our learning speed? like jumping back and forth between memories of mathematics? Or like download the skills/knowledge we need just like apps we use now? If this happens then Neurolink would not only save numerous patients, but also boost our civilization for a tremendous amount.

I guess there's a shift in human evolution things been stagnant for awhile now. What A Time To Be Alive

Elon might be bringing the future to us faster than we are ready for it... also, CYBER PIGS!

Ghost In The Shell loading. Sign me in...

If this helps against panic attacks and anxiety, I will forever be grateful to him

“Open a piece of skull”. Such a simple thing.

Gertrude saw the Cybertruck reveal and was concerned about her protective glass being impacted too harshly.

Dudes a genius and deserves every penny he has. Keep up the good work Elon. I see good things ahead.

I know the demo was amazing, but am I the only one in awe of the fantastic intro/standby music? This mix is 🔥

I'm curious what the fail safes are in terms of unwanted electrical stimulus. Unforeseen jolts of electricity from say... A taser or short circuited light switch, etc. Does the network of 1024 fibers act as conduits for this unforeseen shock? What happens to the device if it's overloaded? It's absolutely fascinating stuff and I can't wait to see this company grow and develop over time.

1:19:00 The only thing I wanted to know

i don’t have the brains to contribute to this program but i am grateful to people who have and do

Imagine “neuralink movies” where you don’t just get to watch it, you live it through actor’s memories. Or record the memories of a scientist studying complex arguments or even just a series of memories of graduating students participating years and years of lessons and then downloading it into your own brain in seconds

Imagine charging your head every night lmao that’s crazy

I pray and know this can help people like me with PTSD, GAD and panic disorder from War. I lost my mind to it in Afghanistan. I'm a brilliant surgeon, medic , ICU RN. However i had to stop. PTSD had got me bad. How will this affect our dreams? Or sudden adrenaline rushes, empathy, what we were programed to do in the Army SF? Sign me up after tested on monkeys. I'll volunteer. Can we control our use of natural hormones and endorphins?

Just curious how you plan on overcoming the taboo thought of implanting something directing neurons to fire? In the case of paraplegics, what type of sensors are going to be implemented after the break in the spinal column. Also how do you protect the device from EMP charges from lightning strikes or anything that has the potential to create a EMP bounce situation? It seems that some sort of shielding might be required but then how do you transmit the signal to the muscle actuators wireless?

I have a question: How do you plan to make sure the government or similar body with authority, or any criminal or malevolent group, can never use this technology to forcefully peer into the mind of a person it designated as a criminal or public enemy and such?

- What kind of musical instrument do you play? - Why, I play the pig, of course.

We're all sleeping on Elon Musk, he just might be the most important person in human history.

We are living in the future

Sheesh, that is so cool. Imagine the huge relief for so many people and families. Wow . . .

Just imagine the strides in communication we could have. For instance perhaps you’re having difficulty having someone understand how you really feel, now you can transmit that emotional feeling to them directly so now they know exactly how you feel on an empathetic level

I was expecting a movie like moment where the pig started to talk in 3 different human languages 😂

So, no one asks about the heating problem of the device? In passive state the device will have normal body temperature. But while transferring alot of data or charging the device can heat up which may cause some damage to brain tissue.

Dude, I knew there was going to be a heads up display!

I like to eat too, so if you need a pig for experimentation, just PM me.

Amazing stuff. I’m surprised neither the vet nor the animal caretaker mentioned communication with animals. We could detect cancer and stuff early in pets if they or a device could communicate pain effectively for example. In general exploring the use in animals would be interesting ( example whales or dolphins ). Also a dream journal would be nice ( different from memories ).

How would head impact not jar the wires loose to move or do they just need to be in a general area so wiggle won't matter or do they have to be in a very specific location in the brain?

I’m wondering in the research and development if you are monitoring hormone levels and reactions, curtain glucose levels and thing like this?

This really could be something big. If I could project a imagined image or video like footage to a screen, or imagined music audio, that's amazing.

God bless Elon Musk, we need you around for a long time to help humanity with all the ideas you're working on.

Im sure the wires wont rust. Im curious how over time the wires react? And is it something where you have to get them replaced every 6 months or every 10 years.

It's amazing to witness these guys writing the history of a new technology advance generation. It makes me feel excited about the future. So thankful for what they are doing for humanity. We're going to need to be able to coexist with technology advance intelligence, that's when the aliens are going to want to talk to us.

I love the two-photon microscopy of the electrodes firing. Try and record or in this case watch the neurons firing during various motor and sensory activities. Try and mimic that exact response using a series of individually placed electrodes. Get good at doing this with precise accuracy. Your design will be better for it when you go to a human trial. It is much harder to guess the activity and response of so many neurons from spike data. You have almost the entire story with the microscopy. Yes, you have way to insert the leads without causing much damage. However, I imagine you only get one shot at placing them in arbitrary locations. This way the architecture of electrode placement will have a better chance of natural responses. By architecture I mean the spacing and depth of the electrodes to allow the desired response as often as possible within the allowable min and max current delivered. An empirical data set would be naturally verified so seems like a great option if the stimulated response is repeatable while changing one variable at a time. Otherwise, testing can be used to verify and multivariable optimization can be used to predict a given electrodes spacing chance of getting precise responses. Why should you take my suggestion? In the future, we can only send messages back over select internet servers...

Johnny Mnemonic was clearly the inspiration for Neuralink

Pretty Interesting Demo, Elon Musk. ❤️

Everyone’s talking about wanting one but what if it could be hacked 🤔

Wouldn't a MRI try to pull that out of your head because of the powerful magnet

Plot twist: it's listening to Spotify ad

Wait what happens if you’re hit in the place where the device is inserted button wise after the surgery of course since it replaces the skull bone in that area.

Very very impressed with your pioneering work in this field.. man machine interface to improve way of life and to save humanity from evil GI! THANKS AND GOOD LUCK!!!

Communication from the link to your phone via Bluetooth. Very exciting, but scary at the same time regarding security.

Soo how long until we get full on Ghost in the Shell type of Brain Enhancements ?

Why is it so hard for this experienced man to speak calmly and fluidly..

Thanks very much for the information. ❤

My wife has severe epilepsy, in fact she goes into status epilepticus. Will this help? Serious question.

can it get me stoned without weed, or sober me up fast and temporarily when I get a important call ..... ?!

I wonder how much corollary abstraction of 'spikes' might be achieved through off-platform modeling. I suppose it would depend on the sensor array config and the models ability to match the brain. There's a lot of real estate to cover and a lot of potential applications. Early success might be dependent on limiting the scope, having a proper density of arrays, and focusing on your model so you can differentiate all your states. I imagine early devices will also be read heavy, taking a light handed approach to brain input.

In Gertrud, are the electrodes displaying the tactile sense of the snout or the olfactory receptors?

School wouldn't be necessary anymore, among other stuff, imagine the time we can save and focus on other things, this is almost unfathomable for me

1:32:40 why isn't anybody clapping??? this is life changing for so many people... its just unbelievable

You also have to consider atrophy of the muscles,and movements in someone who is quadriplegic or paraplegic. I would really be interested in how that would work? It would seem that the mechanism would have to be implanted as soon as the person sustained his or her injury to get the maximum results. I can't wait to see the progression with this device down the road...especially since the video is a year old already ! Great video! I'm looking forward to seeing the advancement in this device in the near future!

As the wire goes deeper would it benefit to being able to stimulate and receive long the whole length of the wire? 1024 channels with 10 points of R/W gives orders of magnitude scalability.

i dont even want to be an engineer and this is making me want to work for them

He seems very nervous you can tell this was a big day for him and his company

Question: can neutralizing be used in combination with a ICD or pacemaker?

elon literally has a right hand man. you can tell by the interaction that they’re damn near equal in intelligence 1 of them just hold the power & is able to bring things like these to fruition

This is a huge step in advancing humans as a species, offering cures never thought possible and so much more. This will become limitless and will go down in history as our first step to a higher advancement of ourselves

The pigs sure are different touch from a Tesla reveal lol

How do you manage the issues with the membrane layers of the brain, the pia, subarachnoid, arachnoid and dura layers. These are very sensative and how do you insert this and not disrupt these layers or if they re disrupted how do you manage this or prevent damage throughout the rest of the brain?

Amazing progress!

'Tank, load the jump programme'...

2050:my brain is powered by Qualcomm branodragon 950

Love and mathematics are the only two true laws of reality. It is amazing to see that we are integrating with technology, i hope this is the bridge we need to teach AI about love. Thank you elon for being brave enough to try

This seems big for the world of neural technology. Hope it takes off soon!

Imma have 10 nuralinks that will replace my entire skull and it will be amazing

Great concept, the only drawback is the battery or electricity need. If the brain and body get used to it, when it goes off it's gonna affect extremely badly the body, but let's see what can be done with the future versions.

Any idea what's being left out in with the hard cuts?

Absolutely Very Exciting

My Manager: Why were you late to work? Me: Forgot to charge my Neuorlink Elon: 😐

Thumbs up to people who care not to talk about themselves but about the problems they want to solve. 👍🏾👍🏾

Mr. Musk , would there be an problems being Hacked or stopped from wrong from external sources like magnets or magnetic fields. Much thanks.

Your not reading my brain waves, I got my tinfoil hat on extra tight tonite! Jokes on you!

I saw this in a SciFi movie where these were all connected to a Starlink like wifi and controlled by an AI.

wouldnt the perfect thing for characterising spikes in the output (and more) be an artificial neural network?

Great Presentation Ron here out Panama :)

Does it have a firewall? -No Why? -Government need access.

The scariest part is what if in the future, your neuralink is hacked and all your memories and data is sacrificed.

Thank you!

WE ALL SHOULD BE THANKFUL FOR PEOPLE SUCH AS ELON. Who dedicate their entire lives to building and innovating our society.

1:1:48 "What Dorothy illustrate is that YOU can put in neural link, remove it,and be healthy,happy and INDISTINGUISHABLE from a NORMAL PIG" - E M. 😂😂. By the way, congratulations to the team. Hope it helps a lot of people. Keep innovating.👍

So many questions; how does the device differentiate thinking about something (i.e. I want to call my boss a poo poo head) and the brain actually desiring to carry out the action? I'm going to be pretty annoyed with Nueralink if it automatically sent an email or a thought to my boss calling him a poo poo head and such everytime I have certain thoughts.

Readings are milliseconds by half by that like measuring a cpu Gigahertz but more like 4hz - 60hz that multimeter for electronics can also pickup that frequency off the scalp...

Someone hacked your implant and makes you experience time at 1,000 years per minute, with the song "I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday" playing repeatedly. What a time to live in!

His laugh makes me feel happy
