Brain-Computer Interfaces Near Commercial Reality | The Middle East Observer

In a new development poised to transform the lives of individuals with paralysis, brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) are on the cusp of moving from experimental labs to commercial reality. This technology, which once seemed like science fiction, is now ready to empower individuals by bridging their thoughts directly to computers and other digital devices. For over […]

Neuralink allows paralyzed patients to control computers with their minds

Neuralink developed a brain-computer device that is implanted into the brain and allows paralyzed patients to control computers and even smartphones with their minds. To date, seven patients have received the device, called Telepathy, which is in clinical trials. The first participant received their implant in January 2024. Neuralink works by placing electrodes near neurons… The post Neuralink reaches 7 patients, enabling paralyzed users to cont…

1st patient gets Elon Musk’s Neuralink brain chip at the University of Miami, a clinical trial site - Refresh Miami

In January, we reported that Elon Musk’s startup Neuralink had selected the University of Miami’s Miller School of Medicine to be the second US clinical trial site to test whether its brain chip – a brain-computer interface implant – can give people who are paralyzed the ability to use only their thoughts to control their smartphones, computers and other electronic devices. The Neuralink PRIME (Precise Robotically Implanted Brain-Computer Interf…
