Overview
Neuralink is an American neurotechnology company founded in 2016 by Elon Musk and a team of scientists and engineers to build implantable brain-computer interfaces. Its N1 implant records neural activity through flexible electrode threads placed by a purpose-built surgical robot, allowing trial participants to control computers and devices directly with their thoughts. Headquartered in Fremont, California with a second campus in Austin, Texas, the company runs clinical studies aimed at restoring autonomy to people living with paralysis and is developing a vision prosthesis called Blindsight.
