- Neuralink has successfully implanted brain-computer interfaces in 7 human participants (4 with spinal cord injuries, 3 with ALS)
- Participants are using the devices an average of 50 hours per week, with some exceeding 100 hours weekly
- The device enables control of computers, phones, and gaming systems purely through thought
- First participant broke the BCI world record for cursor control on day one, surpassing decades of prior research
Product Roadmap Near-term (2025-2028) - 2025: Speech decoding capability – directly converting thoughts to words
- 2026: First “Blindsight” participant – restoring vision to blind individuals; tripling electrode count to 3,000
- 2027: Multiple implants per person; increasing to 10,000 channels
- 2028: 25,000+ channels per implant; treating psychiatric conditions and pain
Most Impactful Applications
- Digital Independence: Paralyzed users can work full-time jobs, communicate, and control devices independently
- Robotic Control: Users can control robotic arms and hands, with plans to enable full control of Tesla Optimus robots
- Vision Restoration: Blindsight will initially provide low-resolution vision, eventually surpassing human capabilities (infrared, ultraviolet, radar)
- Body Reanimation: Future capability to bridge damaged neurons, potentially allowing paralyzed individuals to walk again
