How Neuralink Works 🧠

Описание: Neuralink is a brain–computer interface (BCI) that records and decodes neural activity so intent (e.g., “move a cursor”) can control devices. The system has three pillars:

Implant : a coin-like, fully implanted device with ultra-thin, flexible threads placed on the surface of the brain. The threads carry tiny electrodes that pick up spikes (action potentials). Power is wirelessly recharged; data streams out wirelessly.

Robot (R1): a surgical robot that inserts threads while avoiding visible blood vessels, aiming to reduce tissue damage and improve accuracy.

Software/ML: signal processing + machine learning convert spikes into commands (cursor moves, clicks, text), and can recalibrate as signals drift over time.

What it can do (today): assistive control for people with severe paralysis—think cursor control, basic typing, simple games—plus continuous at-home use with remote monitoring.
What’s being explored next: higher channel counts, bi-directional stimulation (sensory feedback), reliability over years, and broader medical indications.
Reality check: this is early-stage neurotech—requires surgery, long-term durability data, strict safety monitoring, and regulatory oversight.
