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.

Elon Musk’s Neuralink company has officially implanted its N1 brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) in seven individuals, ...

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 "early feasibility" open-label study will also test the safety and efficacy of Neuralink's R1 robot that is used to implant the thread-like electrodes used in the BCI into the brain.

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 ...

Neuralink said it has received a green light for a new clinical study to test the feasibility of connecting its brain ... inserted down into the gray matter by the company’s R1 surgical robot.

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.
