US EditionNeuralink plans 'high-volume' brain implant production by 2026, Musk says
Neuralink aims to help people with paralysis control devices via thought with a coin-sized implant and plans nearly fully automated surgeries starting in 2026.
- On Wednesday, Elon Musk announced Neuralink will begin high-volume production and move to a nearly fully automated surgical procedure in 2026.
- After a 2022 FDA rejection, Neuralink addressed safety concerns and resumed human testing in 2024, redesigning electrode threads to prevent retraction and improve placement on the brain's folds.
- Using 64 ultra-thin threads, the Link implant, with 1,024 electrodes, showed early patient improvement and has been used by 12 recipients worldwide, Neuralink reports.
- Designed to help people with spinal cord injury, Elon Musk framed the effort as reducing AI risks and aims `to give people superpowers`.
- By 2026, Neuralink plans automation in surgical procedures to thread electrodes through the outermost membrane without removal, using a dense electrode array of 1,024 electrodes.
