Elon Musk shares plan to mass-produce brain implants for paralysis, neurological disease

This post was originally published on this site.

Elon Musk’s company Neuralink will start “high-volume” production of its brain implant device in 2026, according to a post on X from Musk.

The Neuralink implant is designed to connect the brain to a computer by reading electrical signals from neurons and translating them into digital commands, with the goal of allowing users to control devices or regain lost functions through the power of their mind.

Electrodes are placed nearneurons in the brainto “detect action potentials.” This allows the implant to “decode information represented by those cells,” as detailed on the Neuralink website.

“In the movement-related areas of the brain, for example, neurons represent intended movements.There are neurons in the brain that carry information about everything we see, feel, touch or think,” the site reads.

Neuralink will start high-volume production of brain-computer interface devices and move to a streamlined, almost entirely automated surgical procedure in 2026.

The company began human trials of its brain implant in 2024 after addressing safety concerns raised by the Food and Drug Administration.Its initial application was rejected in 2022.
