Elon Musk’s Neuralink Event: Everything Revealed in 10 Minutes 

So just imagine NeuroLink is a subscription-based service and you miss a month and they turn off your legs

Don't get me wrong, this is a wonderful advancement that could help a lot of people, but at the same time, it feels like the backstory to a dystopian novel.

I understand how good this can be for those who could really need it,. In the wrong hands, it can be devastating.

How do you remove it though? is that even possible? what about the second version when it comes out? does that make the last version obsolete? Just throwing concerns I have.

If you grew up in the 90s/2000s, just think about how insane of a jump it is from rudimentary internet to wifi internet to current gen smartphones is. Absolutely insane progress in only 20 years. Imagine what life is going to be like just 10 years from now.

This is both exciting and extremely scary at the same time.

These technologies have been around for a while. Stephen Hawking used something similar. Musk is Imo taking it to an advanced level and introducing new functionality.

When wil this be available in Namibia, i want one

My little brother had a traumatic brain injury a few years ago and is unable to walk or talk and struggles to do things we normally do. Advances like this is such an amazing thing and I hope that it’ll become affordable! Great work and great hope!

I've been reading about this for around 30 years or so. The technology is what's finally catching up.

date of this presentation pls?

How many scans u do on electrical discharge and brain voltage increase

Few understand how groundbreaking this development is. Granting vision to a lifelong blind person? This is one of the most important technological advances of human history

A universal code of conduct needs to be created for these technologies.

You can tell Elon is nervous by so much of his stuttering 😂

Considering the fact that he wants to make people's lives better... I'm surprised they've let Elon live for as long as he has

As a physical therapist, this type of work has the potential to bring tears. The hope that this gives to so many individuals suffering with paralysis, as well as their families, is astounding

As spinal cord injury patient for the last 8 years, this is a glimmer of hope to end my paraplegia. Stem cell research notwithstanding

Where can I buy into this for a stock aspect

So its a multiple tens units making the muscle contract and they just program to control how far the muscle moves before setting off another and making the movements.

Wether you hate or love this man u gota admit he is pushing the boundaries of innovation and technology instead of simply copying and rebranding even if he fails he'll always have my respect as best visionary of the past 2 decades

this incredible it feels like we’re living in a science fiction movie

Imagine getting ur brain hacked. Then waking up to the secret service knocking on your door, loudly.

I think that this is almost necessary for helping disabilities. But I still am terrified and know that we can have no real control of such technology once it is widely in use.

WTF I literally had no idea Neuralink had come this far. This is insane. Edit: Damn guys, can I not just be amazed by the tech, and enjoy seeing the advancements in technology that humans make? I don't care who invented this tech first. It's my first time seeing how far it has come. Let me be, lmao 😆

When my Grandpa seen my first cell phone (a flip phone) he said, “what a time to be alive” More than a decade later and we have this.. It’s crazy how much we are advancing technologically

What if blood vessels in the brain get blocked What if certain function of that part of brain get affects

This is absolutely incredible. I have a rare muscle disorder called congenital myasthenic syndrome, which makes my neuromuscular system unable to fire completely, unless I take medication. The fact that this solves this issue, and will solve it for those with more intense forms of my condition is astounding. Elon, God bless you

This is a Cyberpunk world now. The fact that this kind of neural implant exists now is mind blowing to me

I get we live in a tough world so this kind of stuff is needed but it can get crueler with this being weaponized and used as a form of control. I just hope this is in the right hands, restoring someone’s vision is on its way to what Gods do

Amazing to see someone tackle this challenging issue and show great progress. Excited to see what comes next.

Couldn't this also potentially determine if a coma patient is conscious of their surroundings while comatose or that brain activity exists while they are comatose and have the possibility to recover? With the family's consent to install the device of course

The memory function is what makes this insane to me. Just imagine reading an entire book and knowing every little detail down maybe even down to word possibly with this technology. It’s actually scary the potential dangers this stuff brings.

How do I volunteer

This video just changed my outlook on life/existence completely. . . Very thought out and put together, Thank You!!! 😮 🧠

We are truly entering a new era of technological advancements. what a time to be alive.

It’s crazy seeing him say he is planning to restore vision while at the same time having seen him chilling in the full send podcast.

There is a lot that is impressive about this… but that surgical robot is really something. I work in surgery every day with robots and that robot is absurdly advanced.

So install some metal device in human heads then use big magnet piece to move it around?

Just when I thought the next step up will be AR and VR, this man casually goes about typing telepathically.

How are you going to control displacement of the neuralink

In Ghost in the Shell 2, people read books because it's then a novelty to engage with non-digital, non-bodily implemented objects to receive information. Receiving & transmitting information directly into/from the brain has become the default mode of communication in that universe. It deeply scares me to think that I'd actually be alive to live in a time like that.

At first I was like “how are they going to know exactly which lower motor neurons to activate amongst a wide group of people”? And then I realized that they are going to have to program it based on the feedback of each human they are putting it in to then program the movements that work most comfortably for the individual. Simply fascinating. Your can kinda see Fourier patterns in the test. This is super fascinating and will only get better and better.

To be able to see through this advice basically means that you can see everything you project through it. So you could literally watch movies in first person or be able to access the Internet inside your brain. Virtual Reality is getting an upgrade

Remember incredible inventions can either be incredibly bad or incredibly good.

Imagine getting software updates to brain.

Some time in a few years, someone will be Rick rolled through neural link 😂

This stuff is fascinating. I am all for it. X

Wow, amazing I Wana see it's full potential when it's fully completed 😍🤩🤑🤑

I struggled to keep up w/ the terminology but from what i gather this is incredible. Absolutely incredible.

Incredible advancement in human technology with scary implications. This seems like something that could be incredibly dangerous, and I suspect it will require an incredible amount of care to prevent this from being used in unintended ways. The sky really seems to be the limit here.

Does this mean it may interface with a smarthouse?

I think to my self would this work on teaching us more about how things like giant trees interact with the outside worl? We could finely know the last thoughts or images before death or slightly after death?🤔 Any data is good data.

This is frightening and amazing all at the same time. Giving people their vision and mobility back. Tasking the body that's broken to work. This is bleeding edge stuff. If he pulls this off along with space exploration he will be remembered as one of the greatest minds of the century. I know HE didn't invent it, but his imagination birthed it.

Imagine if Steven Hawking were alive, and he was able to finally talk at a normal rate again.

I Myself have a Cordial Rupture. in my left Eye , could it work on somehow

So when are we getting sao?

Can't wait for ads to be streamed directly into my brain till I buy the subscription plan

can we just talk about how Elon met with EU regulators this week for Twitter, met with Apple CEO, hosted this Neuralink presentation, Tesla Semi presentation, and we didn't even see SpaceX. This guy's week is like a dream of an entire life, and people still hate him dang

So can u over power tired muscles with brain signals to push ur physical limits?

Imagine having your phone die because of non stop visual processing and you go blind again lmao

I watched the entire stream and saw the section where they were talking about restoring vision but I didn’t fully understand how it would work. What would the process look like, would you be able to see like any other person or would it be different? I’d appreciate an answer! It’s important to me since I’m half blind and see badly from my working eye which is the consequence of a big brain tumor surgery.

This is just mind blowing... can't believe this is becoming a reality.

What about the equipment that’s inside of u does it get old or do u have to take it out and put a new one does it rust I would not want to do the process over and over will it never break

Who is the engineer that's speaking from the 5:55 minute mark?

Sir. I am spinal cord inury patient from india. C6c7 asia -B plz suggest any treatmny

This is incredible and truly inspiring. Science can restore hope for people who think life is lost. This is amazing and I am excited to see where it goes.

Elon: "I'm really scared of Ai progressing and getting more dangerous." (Builds technology to insert into your brain)

I just had mine implanted. It wasn't that bad. I love being able to use my computer with just my mind. The only bad thing is that everything that I think it's now recorded and stored on OneDrive. At least I have 2factor Auth I guess. I have to really control my thoughts sometimes.

It’s neat to see these, but all I can think of is: - What if you damage the brain or spinal cord - What if someone can hack the system itself - What if the system doesn’t operate as it should (knee bends forward 90 degrees instead of backwards 90 degrees - What are the long term effects, if any - How durable is the material and how can one get “a replacement” if it’s damaged (say a car accident) - Speaking of damage during an accident, what would happen to the actual links I don’t know... I just don’t see why this makes much, if any, actual real life logic. Some may benefit, sure, but others may get it like they do a new phone every year or two: it’s not needed, they just do it because it’s the top tech. I doubt I’d ever use this myself, coming from a catastrophic brain injury myself, I know how delicate the brain is and what tampering with it the wrong way can lead too.

For people aware of EEG signals, a task that depends on eye movements like the shown keyboard demo is quite easy to implement as you would get very strong and clear signals from the eye muscles to mark the direction of movement for the mouse. The imaginary tasks that don't involve eye movements are way more challenging to model using brain EEG signals. You could achieve same results with eye movement tracking electrodes placed on the face not inside the brain.

This has shown me that we are way closer to full dive VR than I thought. We already have ideas for how to input visual data. And, we have a method for inputting signals into nerves for muscle movement which I imagine would also be possible to intercept signals to put into a machine.

We still have not yet managed to get to perfect electronic circuits like electrons from outerspace can still cause a transistor to make a wrong descision and they are connecting these circuits to human brains directly think about if one transistor makes a wrong decision it can result into death or it might damage other cells in the brain causing permanent thinking disability or malfunction.This is terrifying.

Like a lot of other people here this incites a feeling that is mix between total excitement and extreme anxiety. Where will this go, what are the implications? It may seem like a gimmick, or something inconsequential but by rubbing away at that boundary divide between us and our machines we are widening the future and its possibilities.

That clip with the pig's leg muscles contracting is so mind blowing to me, and the fact that they can stimulate different muscle groups is so so cool. Imagine what this could do for paraplegics or even quadriplegics. Truly fascinating stuff!

This is completely extraordinary. Imagine reversing blindness, paraplegia and spinal chord injury?! Totally revolutionary.

How fast will brain regenerate after picking this out? How many times it can be removed and installed before brain cures or get damaged?

We are truly biological machines. Excited to see this develop and to see the results for people that have never walked, give vision to the blind, just giving people a chance to experience the gift of life that many people take it granted for.

The ability to turn anyone into a hit man for 10 mins with no memory of what they just done.

Ok, can you do a link for Type 1 diabetics to secrete and balance insulin-glucagon hormones to and from the pancreas?

Absolutely incredible

I've never even imagined walking again.... After you lose anything, you adapt. I didn't think it would be in my lifetime that I would see someone commit time and money towards a solution. After you've sorted the kinks out I'll be second in line 👍🏽😁🤞🏽❤

Wow! This truly something i didn't think I would be seeing during my life time

Well here's likely to be the major issue with this tech... The brain mapping isn't very likely to be the same for each person. Thus would likely have to be "discovered" and mapped for each individual. Beyond this the issue the tech could be used in some really dark ways, effectively turning someone into a slave without them realizing what they are really doing. After all, our perception is our reality. Control what people experience, then you can control their both their thought and actions.

Imagine using this in VR to control your virtual body by just thinking.

Does this mean the individual cannot actually feel tired? in the case of a paraplegic they still will not be able to feel their limbs but use them...?

i wasnt expecting to see advanced technology like this, as early as now. wow!

Imagine having to watch 2 non skippable ads every time you wanna move your arm

Elon is afraid of AI but all in on total recall

Wow impressive ! Don't the monitored movements drastically resemble the Xbox one Kinect it was the first thing that came to my mind when you have one connected to a tablet like the "ghost hunters" use it gives out imagery very similar (stick man) just thought it was cool to mention

If it has an emergency twist off for people would ease my mind But if it's permanent then it's more terrifying than I thought

This is utterly incredible and revolutionary for humanity. Helping the blind to see and the paralyzed to walk is some biblical level miracle

Here are my takeaways with regard to capabilities and some conjecture extrapolated from the demonstrations: 1. They can track your eye movement, but not just your eye movement, they can also track the eye movement commands sent by the brain to the eye muscles. 2. They can read neurological signals and interpret them with sufficient resolution to visualize your thoughts. Low resolution maybe, but still reproduce your thoughts. 3. Because they can read neurological signals, they also have the capability to write commands to the brain. This means, as demonstrated, they can force your body to move, just as they did to the pig. 4. They can deploy the "threads" of their implant device at the visual cortex, enabling them to occlude your own visual signals, replacing the original with visual signals of their own. This means they can effectively blind you and replace your vision with what they want you to see. If this is possible with vision, then it's also possible with hearing and even touch. They are capable of "restoring" the senses of a handicapped person, but also of replacing the senses of a normal person. 5. The interface device or "modem" connects to an iPhone or similar device. In summation: This device can control your body and your perception of the world around you. Because it provides direct input to your brain, you may have trouble differentiating reality from "neuralink" world. There is no discussion of a manual disconnect, no discussion of security mechanisms that might protect the device from being hacked, jammed, or remotely overloaded. No discussion of how to circumvent or overcome the device once it has been implanted. No consideration of who will be in control of YOU at the end of the day. It represents complete and total control over the wearer of the device. You are no longer autonomous, you are no longer in control of yourself, you are no longer free in any sense of the world. Not even in your mind. And everyone praises this work? Seems quite dubious to me. But neveryoumind. It's the work of a hero, a billionaire, a maverick...a...good man? Everything he touches turns to gold, everything he conceives of is good, and there is no reason to question this technology or its potential uses or misuse....

Can anyone tell me if it can restore memory's cause I got amnesia and I don't remember my past if so how much for 1

Thank you for the post, looks hopeful in helping allot of people in need. Im sure many of you have heard of illegal remote neural monitoring and its use on citizens around the world and right here in the US. Im curious if any of you know Neuralinks or Elon Musks personal position on this illegal use of RNM and and how this should/can be addressed to erradicate its use..or if theres even been any official stance on the matter made by Mr Musk or Neuralink. Any comments are greaty appreciated.

Man!! We’re truly living in the future!! Thanks for whoever helping us achieving this.

The opportunities to help those without mobility shows great promise. They already have some brain interfaces now, but this looks smaller and better. The signals basically look like a robust EEG. Getting the signals to actually restore mobility will be the hard part. We can already read brainwaves from the forehead, but much less signal. For the non-disabled it seems like a better idea to focus on VR and AR with brainwave reading capabilities. The things that can go wrong with skull holes and brain strings are vast not to mention hackers that are already prevalent all over the world. Maybe keep it a medical device until the brains are secure. Also, couldn’t an EMP take out a future implanted population?

you could easily control someone's movements against their will with this... or even an army of people 😳

This is the beginning of true VR tech, you can beam images into a persons brain

His on stage persona and twitter persona are two completely different people 😂😂
