A breakthrough NIH funded study shows a new brain computer interface allowing paralyzed patients to communicate both spoken words and upper body gestures at the same time. 🧠✨

Researchers decoded motor cortex activity to trigger digital avatars with lifelike expressions 🎭

Recent research highlights biohybrid neural interfaces combining living stem cells with electronic sensors. This biohybrid approach minimizes brain tissue inflammation, offering long term stability and sensory perception restoration for next generation implants #Neuroscience

How do you charge a Neuralink implant?

After losing his ability to speak due to ALS, Terry became the third patient to receive Elon Musk’s Neuralink brain implant. In an emotional moment, the technology translated his thoughts into words, allowing him to tell his wife, “I love you.”

I'm not crying, you're crying. Neuralink for a man with ALS.

"I love you."

Those are the first words one Neuralink patient is able to communicate using only his thoughts, marking a major milestone for brain-computer technology.

The patient is part of Elon Musk's Neuralink voice study, which allows him to think the words and see them appear on a screen.

The roundworm has a brain, 302 neurons, tiny but real. A Dileptus has none. It's a single cell. No brain, no nerves, nothing. Yet both turn, back up, poke around, change their minds. If a single cell can explore with no brain, where does intelligence actually live?

This visualization of a cubic millimeter of mouse brain smaller than a grain of sand shows 75,000 neurons and pyramidal cells processing over 11,000 inputs at once.

📍 Elon Musk remains deeply involved in Neuralink’s progress

Nearly 10 years after starting the company, he still meets with the team every week, often more frequently, goes deep into the technical work and continues contributing to key engineering decisions

🗣️ Neuralink President DJ Seo explained just how involved Elon still is:

“Elon made some of the key technical decisions and still does to this day. We meet with him weekly (often more frequently). He goes deep with the team and contributes significantly”

Netherlands-based neurotech startup UCANACT raised 800,000 euros in pre-seed funding to advance its device-agnostic BCI. The system translates brain activity into text and speech with over 90% accuracy for paralyzed individuals, restoring daily autonomy

The Monkey That Started Brain Chips🐵

This is the actual size of Neuralink threads in comparison to a pencil tip. 🧠

All that power in such a TINY piece.

Remarkable...

A neuron looks huge until you put a virus next to it.

Some of them are smaller than the gap between two nerve cells.
a whole pathogen, fitting in the space a synapse uses to talk.

That is why the brain keeps a border.
The threat is smaller than the wiring.

New research indicates that consciousness is present in plants, slime moulds and other organisms that have no brains.

For centuries the scientific consensus has been firmly brain-centred, treating subjective experience as a privilege reserved for complex nervous systems. A growing network of researchers is taking that view apart by showing that organisms without a single neuron can think and learn.

“A child will be implanted with a chip in their skull and download information to the inside of their eyeballs.”

They laughed when Ebert said this on Fox News.

Now Neuralink patients move cursors with thought.

He wasn’t predicting. He was briefing.

We first featured Asentum four months ago ahead of its $ASE token launch. This JavaScript-native blockchain opens its Incentivized Testnet and gamified airdrop campaign.

Participants can earn XP by running a validator, using dApps, sending transactions, completing quests, referring friends and more - you can do so on any device 💻

🚨 This is not your typical mindless clicking experience🚨

It's completely free to join, with optional $ASE staking multipliers available.

Elon Musk on Neuralink in his new interview with CCTV:

“Biological enhancement with Neuralink. We want to try to solve the bandwidth constraint that humans have. Even in the most benign scenario where the AI is super friendly and wants to do everything it wants to make you happy, our rate of communication is too slow.

So, the peak human bandwidth is only about 100 bits per second, roughly. Our input bandwidth is much higher because of vision, you know, a megabit per second or a few megabits per second from our eyes, which are affected by cameras. But our output bandwidth is really low.

Why is Neuralink developing more than a brain implant?
