Neuralink announced the successful implantation of its neurointerface in a third patient. In 2025, the company plans to conduct an additional 20–30 such procedures.

As part of clinical trials, Neuralink is evaluating the safety and efficacy of its implants. The company’s programs enable patients to control computers, smartphones, and robotic prostheses using their thoughts. The procedure is performed using a surgical robot that inserts ultra-thin threads into the brain regions responsible for movement.

Since the start of implantations in 2024, the company has already connected three patients and is working on expanding the device’s functionality to control external devices, including wheelchairs and robots.

Neuralink is also developing next-generation chips. One recent achievement is a device capable of restoring vision even in completely blind individuals.
