Future Applications on Humans

Neuralink Corporation is a neurotechnology start-up company, co-founded by billionaire Elon Musk and is in San Francisco, CA (Winkler, 2017). The company’s main goal is to provide a better integration between the human brain and machines. Neuralink started developing a new kind of brain–machine interface (BMI) that holds promise for the restoration of sensory and motor function and the treatment of neurological disorders (Musk, 2019). This BMI system is relatively small compared to existing systems. It has as many as 3072 electrodes per array distributed across 96 threads (Musk, 2019). For comparison, Neuralink claims that this number of electrodes is one order of magnitude higher than existing BMIs. Each thread contains 32 independent electrodes. Though Neuralink has created more than 20 electrode and thread types, the two designs shown in the picture below are called Linear Edge and Tree types (Fig. 1).
