Neuralink’s Blindsight aims to write signals to the visual cortex, rather than read them.
“It’s not reading, it’s writing.”
@elonmusk explaining Blindsight.
Neuralink will soon launch Blindsight, a product designed to help restore vision to blind people.
“Blindsight is the next Neuralink product after Telepathy”
-Elon Musk
Neuralink is one of the greatest technological breakthroughs of our time.
• A man with ALS is ordering coffee and talking to his wife over the phone just by thinking.
• A woman paralyzed from the neck down is creating art just by thinking.
• Patients are controlling robotic arms just by thinking.
Neuralink has developed Bloom, a mobile app to help people with ALS communicate just by thinking, using a brain implant.
• Turn intended speech into text in any app.
• Quickly correct any words the system gets wrong.
• Start speaking straight from the phone’s lock screen.
Neuralink helps a man with ALS order coffee just by thinking. 🧠
He thinks of what he wants to say, and Neuralink's Bloom mobile app speaks for him through his phone.
Neuralink helps a man with ALS talk with his wife over the phone, using his thoughts. 🧠
His brain signals become speech sent directly into the call.
Their relationship began with phone calls. Now Neuralink is helping bring those moments back. ♥️
Neuralink is helping a man with ALS speak over the phone, type on an iPhone and use Grok, with his thoughts.
Engineers spent 72 hours at his home, building and testing new features alongside him.
Here’s what they worked on:
• Automatically detecting when he tries to speak, reducing the need to press buttons.
• Turning intended speech into text inside iPhone apps.
• Sending speech generated from his brain signals directly into phone calls.
• Starting speech through the app without unlocking his phone.
• Prototyping a Grok AI agent that performs computer tasks after he thinks “Hey Neuralink” and gives an instruction.
One moment meant especially much: he and his wife joking together over the phone again. Their relationship had started with phone calls.
Incredible work by Neuralink, helping people regain a voice, greater independence and everyday moments with the people they love. ♥️
Neuralink is giving people with paralysis a level of independence that once seemed impossible
Thought-controlled robotics is no longer science fiction. It's happening right now with Neuralink
Recipients are already using their thoughts to interact with both the digital and physical world
• Alex Conley controlled a robotic arm and even piloted a drone using only his thoughts
• Jon L. Noble is playing World of Warcraft completely hands-free
• Other recipients are playing multiplayer video games using nothing but brain signals
People living with paralysis are gaining new ways to communicate, control computers and interact with the world around them, simply by thinking
Neuralink is helping people regain independence they thought they had lost forever
Elon built an incredible technology that is giving people a second chance at life, independence, and a better future
