Neuralink’s PRIME Study plans to test the N1 implant, the R1 robot, and the software that could help people with quadriplegia control computers with their brain.

Neuralink has created a surgical robot, specially designed to embed the implant and its 64 ultra-thin flexible connected threads upon which are 1,024 electrodes that record neural activity.

Neuralink has given a rare update on its brain-computer interface, ... The R1 robot performed a live demonstration, poking 64 threads into a "brain proxy" in 15 minutes. Neuralink.

The company is also still developing the surgical robot, called R1, ... Robot arm. Late last year, Neuralink opened a companion study through which it says some of its existing implant volunteers ...

The Neuralink device records activity from electrodes placed next to individual ... Volunteers must be willing to allow the company's R1 Robot to surgically place an implant in a region of their ...

Part of Neuralink's sales pitch is its R1 robot, designed to install these wires without disturbing blood cells in the brain. The Telepathy unit is roughly coin-size, though much thicker, and fits ...

Elon Musk recently revealed that Neuralink, his brain-computer interface company, was forced to develop and rely on robots for electrode implantation surgeries because no human surgeon could meet ...

"During the study, the R1 Robot will be used to surgically place the N1 Implant’s ultra-fine and flexible threads in a region of the brain that controls movement intention," Neuralink said.

Neuralink announced on Tuesday that it has finally opened enrollment for the first in-human study of its N1 brain-computer ... (performed by Nerualink's sewing machine-like R1 robot surgeon).

Equally vital is Neuralink's surgical device, the R1 Robot. The N1 threads are thinner than human hairs, so they can't be inserted by hand.
