Implantable brain-computer interfaces designed to restore autonomy for people with severe neurological impairments.
Neuralink develops implantable brain-computer interface technology that records neural activity and translates intended movement or communication signals into control of external devices. The company’s PRIME study evaluates its N1 Implant, R1 Robot, and N1 User App in participants with paralysis, while its broader roadmap includes assistive applications for computer control, robotic arms, speech restoration, and vision-related research. Neuralink is privately held and venture-backed; its devices remain investigational and are not commercially available or FDA approved.
