Overview

The Neuralink N1 Implant is a brain-computer interface chip with ultra-fine, flexible threads that is surgically placed by the R1 Robot into a region of the brain that controls movement intention. It enables people with paralysis to control computers and external devices with their thoughts. First implanted in human patient Noland Arbaugh in January 2024 as part of the PRIME Study.
