Navigating the hospital to radiology using only my Neuralink mind drive. No joystick, no hands — just thought. The interface on the laptop is translating neural signals into movement in real time. This is what independence looks like. #Neuralink #MindDrive #BCI #BrainComputerInterface #Accessibility #Independence #Neuropod #ElonMusk

That’s how you make it happen. So goated
Our engineers recently visited one of our speech restoration study participants for a 72-hour hackathon. The goal: rapidly prototype as many features as possible to enhance the experience of using Neuralink to communicate with thought. Here are some of the things we built 🧵

We all only got 24h in a day, so make it count!
Our clinical trial participants have now used their Neuralink implants for over 50,000 hours, building one of the largest datasets of intracortical neural activity ever. We used it to pretrain a foundation model for BCI: self-supervised neural encoders that turn noisy, drifting spikes into stable representations. Some initial results: • Decoders that keep working for weeks instead of days. For some users, calibration dropped from 10 min/day to 10 min/week • Teleporting cursors that jump straight to the intended target • A new cursor-control record of 11.32 bits per second (exceeding the performance of most able-bodied people) We’re just getting started. Future directions include pooling data across participants, one-shot (or zero-shot) calibration, and an API for the motor cortex. Read more: neuralink.com/updates/pretra…

We know you’re in the middle of “just one more thing” on a personal project. That’s who we’re looking for. Drop it for one afternoon on Oct 16 and join us. Best internship you’ll ever apply to.
Replying to @neuralink
@neuralink is hosting an event in SF. october 16, afternoon. open to students at local universities and to interns working in-person in the bay area. invites are limited, apply below. app3.greenhouse.io/e/arnmvw

1870s Germany was the wildest time to be a founder. Imagine inventing a company and a country at the same time.

Nobody asked for this but also nobody minds either

Austin-area engineering students: @neuralink is planning a campus event on 9/18. If you are actively enrolled in school in Texas, apply for the chance to receive an invite: app3.greenhouse.io/e/vpnond Looking for exceptionalism. No cowards. Thx.

The US is beautifully unscripted. And I love it.
