Neuralink's N1 Implant with 1,024 Electrodes Promises Thought-Controlled Interaction at 9.5 BPS for Paralysis Patients
Dec 16, 2024, 09:02 AM
Neuralink's N1 implant is being hailed as a groundbreaking technology that could revolutionize the way individuals with paralysis interact with the world. The coin-sized device integrates 1,024 electrodes across 64 ultra-thin threads, achieving a bandwidth of 9.5 Bits Per Second (BPS), which is approximately 50% of normal human capability. This technology allows users to control computers, play games, and type using only their thoughts. Elon Musk has highlighted the potential of Neuralink to restore full body mobility by transferring signals from the motor cortex past spinal injuries, a feat already demonstrated in animals. The advancements in this field are generating significant interest among investors and researchers, as they explore the implications for technology and medicine, particularly in enhancing human capabilities and treating conditions like paralysis.
