Brain implant enables ALS patient to communicate using AI

Summary

Nutrition label

68% Informative

Brad G. Smith is the first non-verbal person to receive the Neuralink Brain-Computer Interface .

The device sits in his skull and connects to the motor cortex- the part of the brain that controls movement.

Tiny wires, thinner than human hair, pick up signals from his neurons and transmit them wirelessly to his MacBook Pro .

The computer decodes these signals, allowing Smith to move a cursor on the screen with his thoughts alone.

Smith 's story is about resilience, creativity and the power of technology to restore something as fundamental as the ability to communicate.

As Smith puts it, "Neuralink is giving me freedom, hope and faster communication" If you or a family member has ALS , would you consider a brain implant that lets you communicate with your thoughts?.
