This live demo shares the experience of a participant enrolled in the PRIME Study. The PRIME Study - an investigational medical device trial for our fully implantable, wireless brain-computer interface (BCI) - aims to evaluate the safety of our implant and surgical robot, and assess the initial functionality of our BCI for enabling people with quadriplegia to control external devices with their thoughts. We do not guarantee any benefit by participating in the PRIME Study.

He called it twitter 😭 Also this dude really needs to start a twitch asap he will be super rich with donations. Everyone will want to watch the neurolink patient play that’s insane! Well done!! Can’t wait to see where this technology improves too.
I bet even Elon calls it Twitter lmao
Literally everybody calls it Twitter, that's what it's called 😂
but also he called himself Professor "X" so... there was a shoutout
@@chris_piss i have no proof, i have no doubts.
Twitch stream is actually super good idea. I'm guessing the interest would wane off after a while, but still. He could make a decent buck, answer more questions about implant, how it changed his day to day life + he seems quite charismatic, so that wouldn't be just "wow, this is the Neuralink guy!". The only thing standing in the way is that Neuralink probably doesn't want him to share more info with the public without consulting them first.
Oh man I was so skeptical of neuralink. Now I’m super happy for this guy. Civ 6! Incredible! Huge breakthrough for him and his family. It’s neat to see the practical applications including not just basic access but also recreation.
Wait...they gave this do the ability to play video games again and that restored your hope? Yikes
@@bobsaget9675 not mine, his! Think about whatever it is in life that brings you joy. Now imagine you can never do it again, or not without intensive support. I’m a fan of people thriving, not just existing. Sure, existence is great, but it’s not enough for most people. I personally quit video games in college to make room for things more meaningful to me. Everybody is different though- I’ve learned not to judge a man by his hobbies so long as they are good for him and his life.
@@bobsaget9675 you're kidding. mr. saget they didn't just give this dude the ability to play chess. they demonstrated that they have given a QUADRIPELEGIC the ability to MENTALLY control a computer with enough control to play a game on a website. this one clip demonstrates how viable neuralink has become. how are you not fucking excited. the dude is controlling a computer's cursor WITH HIS FUCKING MIND 🤯
@centerloper dude literally none stop talked about how now he can play video games. That's literally all he talks about, is how he can be loke every other loser staying up until 5am gaming.
@@bobsaget9675 I wrote a comment before but KZhead seems to have lost it. It said something like think about your favorite hobbies which bring you the most happiness and are a nice break that refresh you. Now imagine you could never do it again without extensive support and reliance on others. Whatever it may be, maybe golfing, shooting guns, going to the movies, archery, hiking, fishing, swimming, or even video games. I don’t know your life. Imagine you lost the ability to do these things, and then one day a technology restored it. You would probably be pretty happy. If you hate games and think you are better than gamers fine, that’s your judgment, I haven’t gamed since 2008 but it used to bring joy in a hard time in my life. So I get where this guy is coming from and clearly you don’t. Just because you don’t understand someone doesn’t make you better than them.
I'm glad I'm here to see this historic moment. This is absolutely amazing.
This is why I like this company, no editing, no intro, no cringy background music, just a video of a life of a person made easier with neuralink

How you type

@@DylanWest-qj4ciain’t now way you don’t know how. He just talks out loud and it translates 🤦♂️
Your journey has been great for me.👋👋👋👋👋
it's amazing that neuralink is able to tell the difference between him just considering a certain move and him actually wanting to play that move that seems hard
You broke me thinking about that 😮
As far as I understood, they decode how he moves the cursor (motory areas of the brain), while thinking about moves activates executive or internal task areas.
The Brain Impulse that makes his hands move doesnt connect to the nerves which power the movement because the nerve is disconnected. But the impulse is being read by neuralink, if he wants to move his right hand a certain way, that impulse is translated onto the curser on screen.
It's basically like a left click on a mouse. His brain fires neurons and the neurolink can tell exactly when he makes a decision. Mind reading will be a reality in the future.
I don't know anything about their technology, but based on my experience, i'm assuming that they are doing machine learning on the spectral analysis of the signal, so all the present frequency, and there the two thoughts should be separate. So eventhough it might seem similar for us, it's probably not as close in the brain
Commenting so my future self can come back to see what a big moment this is.
Love it! For me its a scary future. Obviously the potential for good is so very high! But part human and part computer, to me anyway, is quiet scary. This might be a big moment for a very different reason. But who knows the future after all? This might be the best thing since medicine after all! Best of luck to the Neuralink teams!
You should read up on this, this has been done for decades!
I second that

Please pay $69 subscription monthly subscription for fingertip usage
such a project is stupendously, almost unfathomably more difficult than merely reading out signals from ~1,000 electrodes in the cortex as done here. there should be no expectation that any of us watching this now will live anywhere long enough to see such a thing happen.
@@Muonium1 That kind of thing already exists. He has implants in his brain and then another one in his spine that bypasses the damaged part of the spine and allows him to walk. His name is Gert Jan Oskam.
@@secretchiley I'm aware of the case. The same stunt was done a decade ago with Juliano Pinto at the World Cup. The implementation is so absurdly crude, clumsy, often painful, and near useless to the recipients, I don't even consider it relevant to the idea imagined in the parent comment.
@Muonium1 HARD disagree that such technology is centuries away. We are on an exponential curve with progress right now, especially with AI. Plenty of experts predict AGI or even artificial super inteligence as soon as this decade, even if they were off by a decade, when such AI inevitably gets built, I can't think of any technology that would be out of reach by centuries.
I would never experiment with this myself But i do see the work the team is doing to help our disabled become a little more enabled, its heartwarming and an extremely cool concept as well.

This is beautiful and I am so happy for Nolan! This is an entirely new chapter in medicine and it's because of people who have the courage to be a part of this. How far are we from being able to control devices to help him with moving around without human assistance? It would be life changing if he could send instructions to a robot of some sort that can lift whatever is needed, whether that's a humanoid robot or otherwise, possibly assisted by AI.
Damn near brought a tear to my eye. I was originally very skeptical of this technology and I still am to a degree but to see it being used like this to genuinely help someone's life is amazing.
Unreal!!! History made, and done so quickly! Way to go neuralink!
Actually this tech has existed since at least 2002. There was a study published by Brown University that year titled "Researchers Demonstrate Direct, Real-Time Brain Control Of Computer Cursor" where they accomplished exactly what's shown here

And how honest he is about the issues and how it’s not perfect yet. Just really cool. Edit: you should ask Nolan if he would be interested in playing his games on twitch a few hours a week? Could be a good inspiration and a good way to spend some of his free time
