Breakthrough technology for the brain

We place electrodes near neurons in order to detect action potentials. Recording from many neurons allows us to decode the information represented by those cells.

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.

  1. Implant

    Our brain-computer interface is fully implantable, cosmetically invisible, and designed to let you control a computer or mobile device anywhere you go.

  2. Implant

    Biocompatible Enclosure

    The implant is hermetically sealed in a biocompatible enclosure that withstands physiological conditions several times harsher than those in the human body.

  3. Implant

    Battery

    The implant is powered by a small battery charged wirelessly from the outside via a compact, inductive charger that enables easy use from anywhere.

  4. Implant

    Chips and Electronics

    Advanced, custom, low-power chips and electronics process neural signals, transmitting them wirelessly to the Neuralink Application, which decodes the data stream into actions and intents.

  5. Implant

    Threads

    The implant records neural activity through highly-flexible, ultra-thin electrode threads that are designed to minimize damage during implantation and beyond.

  1. Surgical Robot

    The threads of our implant are so fine that they can't be inserted by the human hand. Our surgical robot has been designed to reliably and efficiently insert these threads exactly where they need to be.

  2. Surgical Robot

    Base Structure

    The base structure and motion stage provide the structural platform for the robot head and the primary 3 axis linear motion used to position the robot head and needle.

  3. Surgical Robot

    Robot Head

    The robot head contains the optics and sensors of 5 camera systems and the optics for an optical coherence tomography (OCT) system.

  4. Surgical Robot

    Needle

    The needle, which is thinner than a human hair, grasps, inserts, and releases threads.

A Seamless BCI Experience

To restore independence and improve lives, we’ve built a brain-computer interface (BCI) experience that enables fast and reliable computer control and prioritizes ease of use.
