Neuralink’s three implants are part of its ongoing Prime study, which is evaluating the safety of Neuralink’s brain device in individuals with quadriplegia. In September 2024, the company announced the approval of a second study known as Convoy, which will explore extending its brain device capabilities to control an assistive robotic arm.

Elon Musk's Neuralink plans to implant upgraded brain-computer interfaces in 20-30 patients this year to help with neurological conditions.

Neuralink's brain-computer device has been implanted in a third patient and the company has plans for about 20 to 30 more implants in 2025, Elon Musk said.

Elon Musk revealed that Neuralink's brain-computer device has been successfully implanted in a third patient, with plans for 20 to 30 more implants this year. He confirmed that all three implants are working well, sharing the update during a Las Vegas event streamed on his X platform, formerly known as Twitter.

Neuralink Corp., founded by Elon Musk, continues to push the boundaries of brain-computer interface technology. The company recently announced that its brain implant device has been successfully implanted in three human patients, with plans for an ambitious rollout of 20 to 30 more implants by 2025.

Neuralink’s innovative device involves implanting ultra-fine threads into the brain tissue, a process performed by a specialized surgical robot.
