Our first product, the N1 Link, is a 1024 channel device that, once implanted, is completely invisible and transmits data via a wireless connection. The first indication this device is intended for is to help quadriplegics regain their digital freedom by allowing users to interact with their computers or phones in a high bandwidth and naturalistic way. The funds from the round will be used to take Neuralink\u2019s first product to market and accelerate the research and development of future products.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/neuralink.com\/approach\/\"><span>Link<\/span><\/a><span> works via micron-scale threads \u2014 which are so small that they must be placed into the brain with robotic surgery \u2014 that contain electrodes connected to an implant.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Other theoretical <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/neuralink.com\/applications\/\"><span>applications<\/span><\/a><span> for Neuralink\u2019s products include providing users the ability \u201cto communicate more easily via text or speech synthesis, to follow their curiosity on the web, or to express their creativity through photography, art, or writing apps.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Earlier this year, Neuralink successfully <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/neuralink.com\/blog\/monkey-mindpong\/\"><span>demonstrated<\/span><\/a><span> its solution with a macaque monkey who played a game of \u201cMindPong.\u201d Without touching a computer interface, the monkey visualized the motions of its paddle \u2014 and the fully-implanted neural recording and transmission device carried out the moves accordingly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Monkey MindPong Picture-in-Picture\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/LgJpYOTll8U?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<p><span>Neuralink also used the device to model the somatosensory signals produced by pigs as they explored their pen.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Snout Boops\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iSutodqCZ74?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<p><span>According to Neuralink\u2019s frequently asked questions <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/neuralink.com\/applications\/\"><span>page<\/span><\/a><span>, the firm has not yet begun clinical trials with humans.
