A paper in Nature reports that a Braingate Brain Computer Interface (BCI) enabled a man paralyzed from the neck down to have his thoughts translated to text with 94% accuracy. An intracortical BCI tdecodes attempted handwriting movements from neural activity in the motor cortex and translates it to text in real-time, using a recurrent neural …

Neuralink will provide an update on their brain interface work in August and the expectation is that there will be progress on initial human trials. Elon Musk recently tweeted that the system could feed music directly into the brain. Neuralink last reported in 2019, that it had a sewing machine-like device capable of implanting thousands …
Elon Musk was interviewed by Joe Rogan for the second time. Unlike the first time there was no smoking of marijuana. Elon discussed getting the neuralink brain interface into humans in about one year. Neuralink will replace a one inch section of the skull. Neuralink could stop epilepsy, restore eye sight and repair stroke damage. …
The full Neuralink paper describing how their multi-thousand channel brain interface system will be built and implanted is here. It is called “An integrated brain-machine interface platform with thousands of channels”. Neuralink believes the key to high fidelity brain interfaces is to precisely reading the electrical spiking of the brain. They call this roughly ten …
