Neuralink

After injury paralyzed him from the neck down, RockyNoHands tested many assistive technologies to reconnect with the world. He re-learned how to play video games with a mouth-operated controller and is now a pro gamer with multiple Guinness World Records and a significant following. We invited Rocky to Neuralink to share his story, learn about our technology, and discuss the possibilities of brain interfaces for paralysis and other unmet medical needs.

As the first person to use a Neuralink device to control a robotic arm with his thoughts, Alex has been paving the way for building brain-computer interfaces that restore autonomy in both the digital and physical worlds 🦾 See more in this video with Alex and Barrow Neurological Institute.

🇬🇧 We’re excited to announce our first participant in the UK! Paul, who is paralyzed due to motor neuron disease, received his Neuralink implant at University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust earlier this month and was able to control a computer with his thoughts just hours after surgery. He’s now working with our engineers to explore using the implant to play his favorite video games and perform other tasks that could enrich and restore autonomy in his daily life. This marks an important step toward making our technology available to help people around the world.

🇨🇦 We just completed two surgeries in Canada—our first procedures outside the United States! This marks an important step towards bringing our technology to more people around the world. We currently have active studies in: 🇨🇦 Canada 🇬🇧 United Kingdom 🇺🇸 United States 🇦🇪 United Arab Emirates If you're interested in participating in a current or future study, we invite you to join our global patient registry: neuralink.com/trials

🇬🇧 We’re launching a clinical study in Great Britain! In partnership with University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and The Newcastle Upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, we’re exploring how our brain-computer interface can restore digital autonomy to individuals with severe paralysis by enabling them to control devices with their thoughts. The launch of this study in Great Britain builds upon the successes of our trials in the US and marks an important step towards bringing our life-changing BCI technology to individuals with neurological disorders around the world! If you are living with paralysis caused by conditions such as spinal cord injury and ALS, you may qualify to participate in this study.

In sharing our story with investors and our internal team, we realized there's no reason we shouldn’t share that very same story with the rest of the world. So in 2 weeks, we’ll have a public demo where we share that presentation with some bonus content. Stay tuned.

We’re excited to announce our $650M Series E fundraising with participation from key investors including ARK Invest, DFJ Growth, Founders Fund, G42, Human Capital, Lightspeed, QIA, Sequoia Capital, Thrive Capital, Valor Equity Partners, Vy Capital, amongst others. We’re building technology to transform people’s lives: helping restore autonomy to those with motor, speech, or vision impairment by enabling them to control computers and robotic arms with their minds, output verbal thought as text, and generate visual perception. With this funding, we accelerate our path to bringing life-changing capabilities to more people, and continue pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with brain-computer interfaces. If you or someone you love is living with severe motor, speech, or vision impairment, join our Patient Registry to stay up to date on our clinical trials: https://lnkd.in/g83nWCep If you’re an impact-driven engineer or operator excited to shape the future of humanity, apply to our open roles: https://lnkd.in/gMNC2st See our latest blog post for more details on our fundraise and stay tuned as we plan to share more updates on our progress and roadmap in the coming weeks. https://lnkd.in/e3SuFXYT

🇦🇪 We’re launching our first clinical trial in the Middle East at Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi in partnership with the Department of Health Abu Dhabi! The UAE-PRIME trial explores how individuals with motor and speech impairment can use thought to control devices & communicate. This is an important step towards making our groundbreaking technology available worldwide to transform the lives of millions affected by debilitating neurological conditions. If you are interested in this trial, join our Patient Registry: https://lnkd.in/gBspcicx

We've received Breakthrough Device Designation from the FDA to help restore communication for individuals with severe speech impairment! This includes those affected by ALS, stroke, spinal cord injury, cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, and other neurological conditions. Help shape the future of communication by signing up to our Patient Registry and applying to openings on our career page. https://lnkd.in/g83nWCep https://lnkd.in/gMNC2st
