Overview of

NEURALINK
Neuralink is a neurotechnology company founded by Elon Musk aiming to develop brain-computer interface
technology. It seeks to merge the human brain with AI through implanted neural chips, potentially enabling
mind-machine communication and treating neurological disorders.
 The TEAM
Neuralink, founded by Elon Musk, Jared Birchall, and Max Hodak, boasts a diverse team of engineers, neuroscientists, and innovators
dedicated to revolutionizing brain-computer interface technology. Their collaborative efforts aim to merge the human brain with AI,
unlocking potential advancements in healthcare, communication, and beyond.

 Mission &
Mission
The mission of Neuralink is to
develop brain-machine
interface technology to merge
the human brain with artificial
intelligence, ultimately
enhancing human capabilities
and treating neurological
disorders.
VISION
Vision
Neuralink's vision is to
seamlessly merge human
brains with AI,essentially
creating a symbiotic
relationship between humans
and machines and unlocking
new possibilities for treating
neurological disorders and
enhancing cognitive abilities..
Goals
The Neuralink chip is meant
to allow humans to control
external devices simply by
thinking. Neuralink,
implanted a brain chip in its
first human patient,enhancing
human capabilities, such as
treating neurological
conditions like paralysis
 Brain Computer

INTERFACE
A Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) is a technology that enables direct
communication between the brain and an external device, such as a computer or
a prosthetic limb, without the need for muscular control or peripheral nerves. BCIs
typically involve recording brain signals, processing them, and translating them
into commands that control devices or provide feedback to the user. These
interfaces have applications in fields like medicine, gaming, and assistive
technology.
 The

TECH

Neuralink's chip is a groundbreaking fusion of neuroscience and

technology. Essentially, it's a minuscule implant placed in the brain,
establishing a connection with a computer interface. Its primary
function is to decipher and stimulate brain activity. This two-way
communication pathway opens up possibilities like controlling
computers or prosthetic limbs through pure thought. In essence, it's
paving the way for direct interaction between the human brain and
external devices, revolutionizing fields like medicine and computing.
Surgical

ROBOT
The Neuralink R1 is a surgical robot that threads electrodes into the brain's
cerebral cortex region.

Neuralink, Elon Musk's company, was developing a surgical robot to

implant their brain-computer interface technology. This robot is designed to
precisely and safely insert tiny electrodes into the brain. However, specific
details about its design and functionality may have evolved since then. I
recommend checking the latest updates from Neuralink or credible sources
for the most recent information on their surgical robot.
 Neuralink, a brain chip implant company co-founded by Elon
Animal Musk in 2016, has been accused of animal testing on
monkeys, pigs, and sheep since 2018, killing around 1,500

TESTING
animals. The company has said that it killed six monkeys due
to health issues caused by experiments, and that it has also
acknowledged that the testing is being rushed.
Human Neuralink company got approval for humans in may 2023,and Elon

TRIALS
Musk said that a wireless chip is successfully implanted in a human
brain by his company and musk said that the future innovations
may allow us to control our phone or computer just by thinking..
 The

IMPLANT

Noland Arbaugh, a 29-year-old man who has been paralyzed from the neck down for eight
years from a diving accident, recently made headlines as the first human to have Elon Musk’s
Neuralink brain chip implanted.
He can control a computer mouse with their brain, nearly one month after having the
company's chip implanted.
