One of Neuralink's longer term goals is to help with detecting strokes, and perhaps even stroke recovery. The need for this continues to grow.
105 million people were living after a stroke in 2023, nearly double the 54.5 million in 1990, mostly because more people survive strokes and live longer. Elon named strokes in his 2020 list of conditions a Neuralink could one day help.
Which would matter more to you after a stroke, getting movement back, or getting speech back?
