ALS has gradually taken away Kenneth’s ability to speak. Through Neuralink’s VOICE clinical trial, he’s exploring how a brain-computer interface designed to translate thought to speech could help restore autonomy in his daily life.
Watch to learn more:
Jake @PairedWith_P7 is an ALS patient and @neuralink clinical trial participant, helping develop new ways to type for others that have lost mobility in their arms.
He’s in the process of writing a book about his story – using just his thoughts.
🇬🇧 We’re excited to announce our first participant in the UK!
Paul, who is paralyzed due to motor neuron disease, received his Neuralink implant at @uclh earlier this month and was able to control a computer with his thoughts just hours after surgery.
ALS took Nick’s arm mobility. Now, he can control a robotic arm with his Neuralink device to feed himself.
“Life with my BCI has been and continues to be so surreal and so rewarding. Can’t wait to see what comes next!”
Neuralink's human trial participant, Nick Wray shows off true mind-control of his new assistive robotic arm (ARA)!

I’m hiring a Neuroengineer Intern for Neuralink’s Next Gen team to help build the next generation of brain-computer interfaces. You will work with an interdisciplinary team to develop computational models of prosthetic vision, plan and run neural stimulation experiments, and apply first-principles engineering to address unmet medical needs today and unlock human potential tomorrow. We’re looking for critical thinkers with strong quantitative skills and a bias for action. Bonus if you include a link to your standout project (paper, repo, demo) in your application, with a note on your contribution. Details in the job post: https://t.co/QVVOHdITjN
There are now 12 people around the world with Neuralink implants. Collectively, they’ve had their devices for 2,000 days and accumulated over 15,000 hours of use.
We look forward to continuing to explore the possibilities of neural interfaces with all of our participants!
Moments after implantation, our device can provide visibility into real-time neural activity. This video shows the gradual increase in activity as one of our recent participants wakes up post-procedure 🌅🧠
🇨🇦 We just completed two surgeries in Canada—our first procedures outside the United States!
This marks an important step towards bringing our technology to more people around the world.
🇬🇧 We’re launching a clinical study in Great Britain!
In partnership with @uclh and @NewcastleHosps, we’re exploring how our brain-computer interface can restore digital autonomy to individuals with severe paralysis by enabling them to control devices with their thoughts.
A new @neuralink study aiming to help people with paralysis to control devices and communicate more independently is opens today.

We successfully completed both P8 and P9 this weekend, our first time performing two surgeries in one day. Both participants are recovering well and in great spirits. We are looking forward to supporting them on their Neuralink journey.
