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.

Products
Blindsight
Blindsight is an experimental visual prosthesis that stimulates the visual cortex to create perceived images. It aims to restore a basic form of sight to people who have lost both eyes or the optic nerve.

R1 Surgical Robot
R1 is the robotic system that inserts the implant's flexible threads into the cortex while avoiding blood vessels. It automates a placement task too fine and too repetitive for a human surgeon.

N1 Implant
The N1 implant is a coin-sized sealed device with more than a thousand electrodes distributed across flexible threads. It records and processes neural signals on board and transmits them wirelessly to an external application.

Telepathy
Telepathy is Neuralink's first product, an N1 implant that lets a person control a cursor, keyboard or device by intention alone. It is being trialled with participants who have severe paralysis from spinal cord injury or ALS.
