Neuralink's N1 implant carries 1,024 electrodes on 64 flexible threads, which its R1 surgical robot places in the brain's motor cortex. When someone imagines moving, the implant picks up those brain signals and turns them into cursor and keyboard control. Trials began in January 2024 with paralysed patients, but Neuralink calls it early research, not an approved product.
