Founded by Elon Musk and Max Hodak in 2016, Neuralink aims to create high bandwidth brain-machine interfaces that connect humans and computers. Their goal is to solve brain diseases in the short term and develop a fully functional machine-human interface in the long term. By using advanced technology and flexible electrodes, Neuralink's implants aim to give people with paralysis the ability to communicate, explore the web, express creativity, and play video games. The company builds upon academic research in deep brain stimulation, cochlear implants, neurostimulation for epilepsy, and the Utah array. With their N1 Sensor, Neuralink aims to record and stimulate neurons across diverse brain areas, paving the way for a neural lace that can interact with the nervous system.
