4. INTRODUCTION OF NEURALINK Neuralink Corporation is a neurotechnology company that develops implantable brain–machine interfaces . Co-founded by Elon Musk, Max Hodak and Paul Merolla, the company's headquarters is in San Francisco 9/15/2022 4

5. PURPOSE OF NEURALINK: Neuralink's goal is to build something called a "brain computer interface" that allows people to transmit and receive information between their brain and a computer wirelessly.  Neuralink is dedicated to developing a device that, once implanted in the human brain, would allow a computer to translate a person’s thoughts into action. 9/15/2022 5

6. It was founded in 2016, Neuralink is developing a brain implant that aims to link the human brain directly to computers. Musk claims this brain-computer interface (BCI) will enable humans to carry out actions through thought alone. And one of Musk's first goals: help paraplegics regain their independence . 9/15/2022 6

7. UNDERSTANDING THE BRAIN: There Are 86 Billion Neurons in Your Brain Neurons send and receive information. Although neurons come in many different types. T hey generally have three parts: a dendrite which receives a signal, a cell body called a soma which computes the signal, an axon which sends a signal out. 9/15/2022 7

8. Neurons Are Connected Through Synapses Neurons Communicate Through Electric Signals We Can Record Electrical Signals in the Brain 9/15/2022 8

9. INTERFACING WITH THE BRAIN: The Link: Neuralink designing the first neural implant that will let you control a computer or mobile device anywhere you go . Micron-scale threads are inserted into areas of the brain that control movement. 9/15/2022 9

10. LINK Sealed, implanted device that processes, stimulates, and transmits neural signals. NEURALINK CHIP: 9/15/2022 10

11. NEURAL THREADS Each small and flexible thread contains many electrodes for detecting neural signals. 9/15/2022 11

12. CHARGER Compact inductive charger wirelessly connects to the implant to charge the battery from the outside. 9/15/2022 12

13. NEURALINK CHIP: 9/15/2022 13

14. The chip Neuralink is developing is about the size of a coin, and would be embedded in a patients' skull. From the chip an array of tiny wires, each roughly 20 times thinner than a human hair, fan out into the patient's brain . 9/15/2022 14

15. The wires are equipped with 1,024 electrodes which are able to both monitor brain activity and, theoretically, electrically stimulate the brain. This data is all transmitted wirelessly via the chip to computers where it can be studied by researchers. 9/15/2022 15

17. PRECISION AUTOMATED NEUROSURGERY: The threads on the Link are so fine and flexible that they can’t be inserted by the human hand . Instead, they designed a robotic system that the neurosurgeon can use to reliably and efficiently insert these threads exactly where they need to be . 9/15/2022 17

18. Neuralink has developed a precision robot to surgically install the chip underneath the skull and feed the wires into the brain The way the robot would work is it would use a stiff needle punch the flexible wires emanating from a Neuralink chip into a person's brain, a bit like a sewing machine 9/15/2022 18

19. The surgery to insert a Neuralink device as taking less than an hour . Musk has said that the entire procedure will be done by a robotic surgeon, a Neuralink robot, and he expects the surgery to cost around a few $1,000 bucks . The price of 1 Neuralink currently costs $0.000031. 9/15/2022 19

20. Macaque monkeys have been used in testing by Neuralink as the company has been developing Bluetooth-enabled implantable chips, inserted into the monkey's brains Elon Musk's brain chip company Neuralink has admitted that the monkeys used as test subjects for implants died due to the experiments. Neuralink still on track for first human trials by end of 2022. 9/15/2022 20

21. APPLICATIONS: Direct Link Between the Brain & Everyday Technology The Future of Neural Engineering. Neuralink is currently focused on making medical devices. These devices have the potential to help people with a wide range of injuries and neurological disorders. Neuralink's long-term vision is to create BCIs that are sufficiently safe and powerful that the general population would want to have them. 9/15/2022 21

22. For Visual Prosthesis Disease Prediction Solve Mental Illnesses The device has the potential to scale to more channels, more regions. As it goes deeper, the chances of solving issues related to anxiety, fear and depression become high. 9/15/2022 22

23. ELON MUSK SAYS: I t could: create "symbiosis" between the human mind and computers; "shed some light on consciousness;" allow people to "save and replay memories;" cure paralysis, blindness, memory loss, and other neurological diseases; enable "superhuman vision," or give people the ability to summon their Tesla telepathically. 9/15/2022 23

24. ADVANTAGES OF NEURALINK: Effect to the World Education Effect to the World Medicine Increased communication and collaboration between humans and AI . Improved quality of life for people with disabilities. Increased ability to learn and remember information. Enhanced creativity and problem solving ability . Ability to control devices and prosthetic limbs with your mind. Increased understanding of the human brain. 9/15/2022 24

25. DISADVANTAGES OF NEURALINK: Potential for abuse and misuse. Invasion of privacy. Unintended negative consequences of BCIs, such as addiction, anxiety, or depression. Difficulty in removing or repairing BCIs if they malfunction. Increased risk of brain injury or infection. High cost of BCI technology. Limited research on the long-term effects of BCIs. The value of human feelings will fade off. 9/15/2022 25

26. CONCLUSION Neuralink is undeniably the future technology, that can heal multiple disorders . We know for sure that by 2025, technology like Neuralink will be widely available to everyone. There will be an increased focus on brain-computer interfaces, which will make our brains smarter and our lives easier .  With an artificial intelligence system in place, society could one day progress past the point of needing to worry about wars, natural disasters, or biological disasters. 9/15/2022 26
