Neuralink

!Neuralink logo Neuralink Corporation is an American neurotechnology company founded in 2016 by Elon Musk and a team of neuroscientists and engineers. It specializes in developing implantable brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) designed to create a direct, high-bandwidth connection between the human brain and digital devices.[](https://research.contrary.com/company/neuralink)[](https://neuralink.com/) The company's core technology, the N1 implant—also known as the Link—features 1,024 electrodes on 64 ultra-thin, flexible polymer threads. These threads are surgically inserted into the cerebral cortex using a specialized robotic system to record and stimulate neural activity with minimal tissue damage.[](https://neuralink.com/) Neuralink's stated short-term objectives include restoring motor function and communication for individuals with paralysis or conditions like amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), while its long-term vision encompasses enhancing human cognitive capabilities to achieve symbiosis with artificial intelligence.[](https://neuralink.com/)[](https://research.contrary.com/company/neuralink)
