Neuralink develops brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) that enable direct communication between the brain and external devices. Their main product, the N1 Implant, is a small, fully implantable device that allows users to control computers or mobile devices. It works by processing neural signals with low-power chips and transmitting the data wirelessly to an application that translates brain activity into commands. What sets Neuralink apart from competitors is its focus on both medical applications for individuals with mobility issues and the potential for cognitive enhancement for a broader audience. The company's goal is to restore autonomy to those with unmet medical needs while exploring the possibilities of human-computer interaction.
