Neuralink Update - May 2022 (Part 1) 

I've reviewed this again and am less certain of my original interpretation of the tweet. Previously, I thought Elon was confirming that the IDE application would be submitted this year, but it's possible he's confirming they'll have a Neuralink in a human before year-end. I think Elon was not confident during the TED interview (April 6th) that they'd do the first human implant this year, but that could have changed by the time he tweeted on April 24th. My best guess is that the IDE application has already been submitted, and it's likely (but not a guarantee) the first human implant of a Neuralink will be completed before the end of the year.

Brain-computer interfaces are going to change the world in so many ways we cannot currently imagine.

Probably best news i've heard in months. Something that can take away from World news

A tinnitus cure would be huge. It's a large market, and many of them would pay a lot to be freed from the constant noise. I certainly would. I just hope "5 years" isn't classic Elon Time.

Thanks for another great update! Always look forward to them! Keep up the great work 💪

Thank you for your update Ryan you have cleared lots of things in this update. Eagerly waiting for your next update.

I really hope NeuraLink is able to get human trials by the end of this year. It’s amazing how Tesla is working on much more than cars but not many people see that it’s much more than a car company. Thanks for the update!

Thanks for the update, Ryan 🙏🏽 Looking forward to watching May’s 2nd update episode 😃🧠

thanks for the update 👍🏼

Your videos provide so much information regarding brain chips with so much simplicity that i can watch as much ads as you want us to see thanks ryan

Another great episode Ryan. I think some of his goals may be quite optimistic but others are hopefully not too far off. I can only imagine the joy of having communication restored with your loved ones or mobility restored after being unable to use your body for years. I'd imagine the physiotherapy would be quite intense and prolonged but the change would be mind blowing.

Keen to watch

Thanks for the updation, your update makes us feel happy. Being a spinal cord Injury patient, your updates related to Neuralink gives immense pleasure and giving me more confidence. I am sure I walk in future with Neuralink chip 👍

I have a chronic neurological disease so I’d willingly join the trial ..it potentially could help so many people with motor function…that would be like someone waving a wand over them and improve their quality of life

Grate work

Thanks!

i'm still baffled at how underimpressed society/the media are with this monkey pong demo. it's one of the most incredible things i've ever seen...and the implications, even with just this early stage of the tech, are staggering. it seems you could do the surgery on every paralyzed person right now and greatly improve their lives

This is gonna go down as one of the greatest breakthroughs in human history! It's amazing that the general public isn't aware of what a tidal shift our society will take once this device hits the marketplace

Thanks for the updates. I want to get into the first available testing when it opens for my category of stroke related improvement.

WHAT A ******* NIGHTMARE IDEA

Thanks for Giving every month updates

Wow. So informative! Thank you. I am so excited to learn all I can. I am making application in hopes of becoming an intrical part of Neurolink!

yeh when you keep having deja vu and dreams about developing a new language for software and neuralink to create virtual senses for smell touch taste hearing and seeing It's a bit mind boggling i might actually be reliving my life up to the point i started the program after having the chip installed.

Here is the article about spinal cord regeneration in SciTechDaily with the title “Human Spinal Cord Implants: Breakthrough May Enable People With Paralysis To Walk Again”. I tried to post a link and my whole comment was deleted. So I said I hope Neuralink will make quick progress because of advances like the one in the article are happening.😊

I love your updates ♡ thanks!

Good update. Thanks Ryan

The Ping-Pong setup with the monkey is about 20 years old. Miguel Nicolelis was doing it. It is nothing new.

I struggle with tinnitus and ridiculous base in modern music is terrible but I can still go to operas and concerts and listen to music in headphones. I'm still looking forward to a potential product as it could help with my sleep!

Just ready to walk again hurry up guys

בָּהיר adjective The definition of the Greek word "bright" light, clear, fair, sunny, lucid. And you were absolutely correct about after a person dies, we still own my mom's note 9 and it's still active because if anybody calls that didn't know she passed away, they could still get a hold of someone on the very phone she used to communicate with them, it's like having your own mom after she passes away on a phone, and what's even weirder is that I've been doing custom phones custom rom's at the beginning almost, just like the old application it was a launcher called sweeter home, and you could actually from the ground up build your launcher with your springboards to whatever features wherever you wanted just like all the OS that come out with today for all the different brands of phones that they operate on, just like the rom on my one plus one, by Ground Zero ROMs and it's called Tesla OS that's the rom I run on my phone phones, and it's super cool, so the future looks bright and customization to neuralink is only going to increase, there's no doubt in my mind, sincerely John D. Kavanaugh Jr,✌️in "Musk".

Heyyy, alright, go Suns! Incidentally Ryan I'd be interested to hear a comparison in between Neuralink and Chinese BCI companies, I think you could cover that really well and make it entertaining Thanks for the content.

So, how can it be turned off? Having migrane for almost a year now.

Humanity must maintain its adaptability.

thanks for the update... Ryan could you help me with the info that whether NeuralLink is working in curing blindness or not? in one the video Shivon Zillis mentioned that NeuralLink is trying to reconstruct the image into computer using monkeys eye in hope to helps blinds

God I hope this works for tinnitus. Can't wait to get my life back.

Is this true, can i be a volunteer for human test?

I once shipped my Beatz (by Dre) that Apple currently owns.

I'm all in if they can clear up my tinnitus

THIS IS A TOTAL NIGHTMARE

Good work fellow human!

THE BORG

Rayan, Thanks. It makes me so much closer to having a Neuralink implant

Thanks you for giving actual information about what’s going on in the world of technology but more importantly Elons company’s bc I keep losing touch bc of life. So keep up the great work bc I know you’ll blow up bc of truthfulness and honesty with information and authenticity with it all. I hope to be part of your channel for years to come, and I hope we can do a collaboration if I ever decide to do a channel myself😆. Best, Rin

Whether through Neuralink or nanobots, one of the most amazing, seemingly sci-fi, things that is coming in the not so distant future is immortality. The "ship of Theseus" thought experiment is useful when thinking about whether one would still be the same person when it does become possible to upload one's mind to the cloud or a robot. In order for it not to simply be a copy of your mind (which, yes, some would say is "you" so it doesn't matter that the "you" in your physical body dies, I disagree) it would actually be necessary to do a gradual upload in order for it not to be a copy of you. For example, if you are still you with 1% of you in the cloud, then 5%, then 20% and so on you remain consciously "you" thought out the process to the point when 100% of "you" is in the cloud, yet, at no point was there ever a time when "you" stopped existing and a copy took your place.

So that's what I have I must have tinnitus cause I know that I get a ringing sound in my ears especially when its quiet but its at the point where it doesn't even bother me anymore it did when I was a kid though

I think its impossible due to uniqness of being. All we are is this human body mind connection. It manifests as this ongoing proces. Once you stop it and make a copy, the other copy wont be you. Awareness of this particular being is undividable. I cant imagine how would that work without interrupting the ongoing process of Awareness

Won't there be any application for blindness?

limit the technology only for medical use thats it.

Good rundown of the most recent news surrounding one of the most influential people of our time.

They are not likely using Neural Networks when reading the neural signals, DFT + binning + Kalaman filers are a standard approach and they reference that approach multiple times in their whitepaper.

a monetization curve!? Lmao nice will keep watching

It is obviously possible to copy a person’s entire knowledge/memory/personality into a computer one day, but it would only be a copy. It isn’t actually YOU. So you would have a robot that thinks and acts exactly like you but the original “you” would still be in your real biological body. This is so obvious yet all these videos and people on the internet seem to think it will be possible to transfer your consciousness and subjective experience of existence into a new form. Again, it would only be a copy. It’s likely impossible to jump into a new body without a transfer of your brain into the new form. A much more likely use case is to remain in your biological body while being able to control a robot remotely as if you’re in it. That is to say, the robots senses and perspectives and motor control could be fed into your biological brain using neuralink so that you can temporarily feel as if you’re that robot and control it. But permanently transferring into it goes to the heart of the mystery of what even is consciousness. Currently we don’t know of any way to separate our awareness from our physical biological forms. It may very well be that we have souls or some unknown energetic form to our minds, but what that is and how to transfer it to a new body is WAY WAY beyond our science currently.

Center of gravity of data mapping

image u can download the knowledge u want to know. I cant image how speed up would be the research of sth. Crazy.

PLEASE, OH PLEASE! I HOPE THEY HAVE A SOLUTION FOR TINNITUS!

Do you think it could cure stuttering, a speech impediment?

Sir , will it be able to cure the damage cause by cerebral palsy

Once neura link is fully in visible and operating off human energy and has a stand alone non internet connected. Then all I'll need is a time machine that no one knows about and I can go back to being a kid but with neralink data and processing. I could be the most powerful man in history.

Im hoping neuralink can connect to either side of a damaged nerve in the brain, my wife had a tumour removed from the optic nerve 3 years ago, the surgery damaged the optic nerve making her blind in one eye and she has poor sight in the other Im hoping within 5 years this could be a possible use for neuralink to regain the wifes sight as her eyes are not damaged at all

I have tinitus but ihave no problem at all mine😕

We could download our memories (and all things that memories imply), but I don't think that consciousness would go along with that

The novels of Iain M. Banks are a good source of ideas for what AI and AI augmented humans might be like.

Neuralink plantetion is now available

Respect Mr Musk!

Do you thank Tesla Bots will play an important role with the police. My concern is security both public and home.

Does it helpful for blind 🤔

Implantation started in 2001 or 2005 with a gps and asignal reading heart and impulsive. Again this was 20 years ago. In 2010 it was reading thoughts to small degree like subject wnthink wants i e cream but dont k ownwhat flavor. In past 7 year or so they can detectwhere prson will most likely drive route given how many times person is familiar and reading before the person gets to point being so i think tonself what beach and will i take freewy or street to date of year if beach is crowded and whom is attending. A!l narrows down and the point to manipulate thenmind to simple tricks as sunlight gets me thrirsty so ill stop at store and what store is most likely in my favor or relative to keep in route.

People forget that also it’s the richest man on the planet pushing this, not just your standard bunch of brain scientists, they got the best of the best, extremely exciting 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

IMAGINE being Sucked into the Internet. TRAPPED IN A VIRTUAL WORLD.

Other 5 years to the other 5 years. Elon really knows how to develope a softwer to last for long.

Stephen Hawkins would be so jealous right now

👽

fvck man this is just crazy cant wait for this shlt

With optic nerve squid technology embedded in augmented glasses mental morph and select interfacing could be as important as and have a higher human creative throughput than talk and touch interfacing. Although please don't need to do brain surgery on me. I know I'm a bit mad but I don't deserve it. Think mental field of view as being a buss term and one day it might be measurble.

Hi! Ryan, I'm an insomniac is there an update about their promose to cure insomnia thanks! 🥳

Aren't they doing human trials now?

Hello. I just watched a RU-vid by ccp aiming directly at Elon Musk which I found amazing.

yeah, call me when this thing gets into your iphone

Imma gunshot victim paralyzed at the T1 level would love to be the test dummy for this

One thing I'll never believe: "neuralink was built to help the disabled" lolololol!

mmm but downloading your personality would mean just copying the infromation in your brain as a copy, the result wouldnt be you , because you could both exist at the same time

Can't wait to get a chip

If you are trying to help paraplegics why are you recording from the motor cortex? If you want them to walk again this is certainly an issue downstream from there.

I can't pronounce the word, but I have it, after I got shot in the face Point Blank Range right under my right nostril, with a 22 bolt action rifle, it kind of changed my hearing a little bit, HUHUHUHUHUHUHU .

Not saying there's no way no.. just curious how they gonna transfer conciousness. Everything about what defines you ? sure.. but how do you make someone actually keep the illusion of control. Like they gonna wake up in their new body acting normal and shit.. say they are conciouss and everything because during their existance they always assumed they were conciouss and have learned that. But they may actually not be conciouss in their new body even tho they act like as if they were. I mean.. to solve this problem.. what is conciousness ? do you really believe it's just some signals and information going from point A to point B that creates that ? I don't know not saying anything in this specific comment If we make a digital brain not an analog one.. but basically a copy of ourselves... we represent the whole brain with 0s and 1s (It's gonna be inneficient to do it this way but let's say we do it okay ? we stay digital to stay simple because I don't fucking understand analog computers.. and also if analog creates conciousness then digital can too why not ? I can't see why).. we create a copy of you lets say ok ? is that new copy gonna be conciouss ? yes its gonna act like you but in the end.. it's the same mechanism that created the calculators that we use today so.. are our calculators conciouss ? I don't know what is conciousness ? what are all the things that are conciouss ? I understand why some turn to spirituality including me... of course I still can't make the assumption that oh... It's spirituality man.. If neuralink proves me wrong somehow (idk how tho... unless I try it myself and make it part of my own conciouss experience that is the only way I can think of.. I could also die in the process idk man depends on how they do it.. I'd be in my new body telling yall that it's great I'm alive it worked or whatever.. but that is not a prove that uploading conciousness works ) I'll be glad to know the truth but yeah as for tesla bot self driving and everything.. AI is fucking op.. and we could surely enhance our brain with modules.. enhance the experience, the rest I don't know.. just questioning but I'm not saying anything

Nano technology Charles Lieber Harford University

Down loading the Brain is one thing, but what about the soul? We should not discount our spiritual being.

I like the topic of neuralink, but can you not put your camera close up to your face? It's just a little distracting.

1,000 talent brain initiative targeted individuals

Hopefully they can heal ,,Altzheimer“ with it… im scared that my Mom will get it in her Age… 😔

Drive your Tesla with your mind. But can you down load a soul?

I could literally put it down here and everyone here's going to look stupid this is why cova started I can prove it Charles Lieber nanotechnology

The only thing that would get me to buy a neuralink is if there was an external version

Tinnitus should be a first target. It is a huge market. 2 million disabled by severe Tinnitus in the US alone. I have severe Tinnitus. I'd take a 50% chance in any trial if I could. Also, cochlear implants nearly completely alleviate Tinnitus in most patients (70%) and they only have 22 electrodes. Surely Neuralink has the capaacity to take over a cochlear implant company and integrate their tech to irradicate Tinnitus with 1,024 electrodes it should be a piece of cake. Neuralink implantation could mimic existing cochlear implant surgeries. It's a huge potential that must be clear to the company. More revolutionary treatments like helping people walk again will then follow.

I loved watching this vid while taking a huuuge poo

Am artificial brain? Tesla already has that. It’s called a neural network. For more complex artificial brains you just need larger neural networks. This has absolutely nothing to do with neuralink. What exactly do you imagine they would be developing?

They have a lot of fanboys and targeted individual thousand talent initiative and the bad thing is they keep on picking on Chinese American

How much do we let the public know the percentage we live is 100% but in what form and that will tear many into distrust as to who will play god in the sky. Will we have to do a world wide freddy kreauger where we all metaphorically reside on elm street to control human behavior example hwving sex at a young age not realizing the good with the harm via pregnancy if couple is not in right means , std, jealousy at such a young age esp from hollywood sex sells impact taking away from basic knowledge of the youth and humanities.
