Neuralink's Coin-Sized N1 Implant with 1,024 Electrodes Enables Thought-Controlled Computing at 9.5 BPS
Dec 14, 2024, 11:25 PM
Neuralink's N1 implant is being hailed as a groundbreaking advancement in brain-computer interface technology. The device, which is the size of a coin, features 1,024 ultra-thin electrodes that can read neural signals, allowing individuals with paralysis to control computers, play games, and type through thought alone. With a bandwidth of 9.5 bits per second, the N1 device achieves approximately 50% of normal human capability. The technology is positioned as a significant step forward in merging human cognition with machines, with potential applications in technology, medicine, and human evolution. Neuralink's recent developments have garnered attention, particularly in light of its FDA milestones and the ongoing discussions surrounding its impact on enhancing human potential.
