We are building surgery simulations for faster iteration and better test coverage. Join us to help expand this capability🦾

Bath time! 🛁 Our accelerated lifetime tester ages our implants at 4x speed. Developing new ways of expediting long-duration testing at scale allows us to iterate faster, identify low probability failures, and reduce animal use

We are excited to share that we have received the FDA’s approval to launch our first-in-human clinical study!

This is the result of incredible work by the Neuralink team in close collaboration with the FDA and represents an important first step that will one day allow our technology to help many people.

Recruitment is not yet open for our clinical trial. We’ll announce more information on this soon!

Our thin, flexible threads are a few red blood cells wide, minimizing the brain’s response to them. We use scanning electron microscopy to verify process control, understand defects, and sometimes take glamour shots 🔬

We want to surpass able-bodied human performance with our technology. Using only his mind, here's precision cursor control from Pager (star of Monkey MindPong) achieving 65% and 88% of the median Neuralinker using a mouse. Join us to breakthrough to 110% and beyond! 🧠

We practice surgeries on proxies with all the hardware and instruments needed in our mock OR in the engineering space. This helps us rapidly test and benchmark surgical improvements. A great surgery is a boring one, and practice makes perfect 🎯

We caught a glimpse of the Northern Lights at the office 🌌! The two light sources are “sputter guns” depositing Titanium and Iridium on our electrodes through plasma bombardment.

We test the thermal performance of our implants to ensure safety and improve efficiency. Here, we are taking infrared images to detect hotspots on the bottom surface of an implant while charging with the charger coil in different positions. Stay cool 😎

We use dynamic mechanical analyzers to fatigue test our threads and identify changes in their mechanical properties over time. It’s hard to spot, but here you can see us testing a thread by emulating the brain motion due to our heartbeat at 1Hz and an accelerated test at 10Hz 💫

Our surgical robot uses advanced imaging systems to detect the brain and insert threads away from blood vessels. Here, you can see everything the robot sees while we test the accuracy of each of the robot’s high-precision cameras 👀

These are the first waveforms produced by our next generation stimulation ASIC on benchtop. This custom chip unlocks the ability to support 16k+ channels with sufficient voltage and current and the fine control required to restore vision or reanimate the body, something we hope to do in the future💡

We currently have over 20 of our latest generation implants that have passed the 5-year mark of accelerated aging on benchtop (and still going!) 5⃣🚀

We attach our custom ASICs to our implant PCBA using flip chip bonding process. Here’s a sped up version of that process where we pick up the chip, apply flux, precisely align, and bond to the board.🎯

During the final inspection, we capture and stitch images of our arrays and use image detection algorithms to identify defects. Join us in refining our algorithms to distinguish between various types of particles and developing defect-free microfabrication processes 0⃣

Our surgeons use the lasso tool to highlight relevant brain regions based on fMRI. The robot leverages high resolution cameras to automatically place targets in the region of interests while avoiding the tiniest vessels that are not easily visible to the naked eye 🤠

We use multiple scanning technologies to ensure that we target the optimal brain region with our implant. MRI and CT scans are aligned and used to guide the position of the implant on the skull surface intraoperatively. Functional MRI scans are used to identify the desired region of the cortex (in red) for placement of our electrodes 🩻
