In May, Neuralink, a tech startup owned and co-founded by Elon Musk, received Food and Drug Administration approval to implant brain chips into humans. They are looking for human participants as Neuralink embarks on its first clinical trial.
The company has also received approval from an Institutional Review Board and has a hospital site in place to open participant recruitment. The goal of the BCI, or brain-computer interface, is to grant people with paralysis the ability to control a computer cursor or keyboard using their thoughts alone.
Precise Robotically Implanted Brain-Computer Interface, or (PRIME), is a six-year study that aims to evaluate the safety of the implant and surgical robot in addition to the overall functionality of the brain-computer interface software.
Eligible participants will have the R1 Robot surgically place the N1 Implant into a region of the brain that controls movement intention. After the N1 Implant has been surgically placed, it’s supposed to record and transmit brain signals wirelessly to an app that decodes movement intention.
Participants will be asked to use the N1 Implant and the N1 User App to control a computer and provide feedback about the system after the R1 Robot surgically places the implant, according to Neuralink.
Neuralink has created a surgical robot, specially designed to embed the implant and its 64 ultra-thin flexible connected threads upon which are 1,024 electrodes that record neural activity. The robot has five built-in camera systems and uses optical coherence tomography for noninvasive imaging of brain tissue.
The robot uses a needle as thin as a human hair, which inserts the “threads exactly where they need to be,” Neuralink’s site says. Neuralink’s goal with its human trials is to eventually enable a person with paralysis to use a computer or phone with their brain activity alone.
The Neuralink 1 implant actually includes multiple chips, a wireless battery, and other electronics hermetically sealed within a device about the size of a large coin. Several dozen ultra-thin threads protrude from the implant; those go directly into the brain.
Signals from the implant are sent via Bluetooth to and decoded by, a brain-computer interface, which would allow a person to, for instance, control an onscreen cursor or move a robotic limb.
Beyond helping paralyzed patients regain some mobility and communicate without typing, Neuralink’s longer-term goals include helping restore full mobility and sight.
They are looking for individuals who have quadriplegia with limited function in all four limbs due to spinal cord injury or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and are at least one year post-injury without improvement.
Requirements to be in the study:
You have to be at least 22 years old.
Have a consistent and reliable caregiver.
Individuals who have an active implanted device like a pacemaker or deep brain stimulator (DBS), have a history of seizures, require MRIs for an ongoing medical condition, or are receiving transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) treatment will not be able to participate in the study.
A foolproof way to determine eligibility for current or future trials will be by filling out an application on Neuralink’s website.
The Bible speaks of the end time that knowledge will increase.
Daniel 12:2 And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.
Daniel 12:3 And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.
Daniel 12:4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.
Luke 21:11 And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and diseases; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.
Luke 21:25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;
Luke 21:28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.
