Hello World! My name Nick Wray and I am P8 (Telepath8) in the Neuralink trials!

It has been such an honor and privilege to be a pioneer in the world of cybernetic enhancement. Today is day 3 of using the N1 Telepathy chip and I haven’t had this level of digital autonomy in years. The precision and speed of control out of the box has been astounding and liberating. I can’t wait to learn to play the drums again! I hope to contribute extensively to the product and user experience going forward. I’m very excited about the possibilities for the future in my lifetime and beyond. To be able to create again is life changing. I hope to be one of the first people to hold my own with AI. It’s still faster than me, for now, but one day soon I may be collaborating with it, or creating with it in ways previously unimagined.

Since the first time I read Johnny Mnemonic and Neuromancer by William Gibson, BCI has been the dream. After decades of fantasy, I’m actually a Console Cowboy the likes of Henry Case. This is both fantastic and profound. In becoming a member of The Miami Project to Cure Paralysis, I have the opportunities to further research into finding and fine tuning possible solutions to this age old malady AND to further research on human-machine symbiosis and working beyond the limitations of my physical body. On the very first day using my BCI, I was afforded a glimpse, the slightest whiff, of the capabilities I will achieve with practice and it is so far beyond anything I could have dreamt of as an able bodied individual. It’s not lost on me that without ALS, I would never have been a candidate for this study. I sincerely believe that if ALS is the price of admission to an opportunity of this magnitude, you pay it; gladly, willingly, and without hesitation. I would do it all again to end up right where I am, right where I’m supposed to be.

@greg16676935420 A true throwback; on a Thursday. Legend.

The amount of Twitter branding underneath all of the dark clothes and makeup of X kinda makes it feel like Twitter is going through a Goth phase. "I'm not going by "Twitter" anymore, Dad. Fahh! It’s X now!” "Okay sure Hon. Whatever you say. Travis, be sure to have Twitter home by 10. Have fun you two!"

I think Sainthood in the Catholic Church requires the person to perform 2 miracles. By that measure, everyone at @Neuralink is already a Saint. Making the blind see? That’s on their list and soon it will be on their resumes! Literal miracle workers.

[P8•N1CK @Telepath_8]

An error ratio on the HUD would be informative. I see a lot of "label-up" errors from the robot. Given the amount of data being gathered, it could be an impressive improvement stat to share; how much better is it after 1 post-trial iteration? I expect the robot will outpace the human by a lot with a very low error rate after a few trainings and iterations.

@SCI_Borg24 @LeBrainJames023 Not yet. I know P26. Getting that sweet referral bonus!

@LeBrainJames023 @SCI_Borg24 Audrey and I were the first set of twins. I hear there's gonna be one more set before the month is over! That's pretty awesome. Seems like they’re on the way to making two at a time the norm. I like having a twin to do this with.

[P8•N1CK @Telepath_8]

@SCI_Borg24 @LeBrainJames023 I didn’t know you guys were twins!

[P8•N1CK @Telepath_8]

And altho with you.

[P8•N1CK @Telepath_8]

@InsiderPresider @neuralink Giving the crippled agency and helping the mute speak? Yeah, I’m calling those miracles.

Our robot is designed to insert hundreds of ultra-fine, flexible threads with thousands of electrodes within microns of targeted neurons while avoiding vasculature and adapting to real-time brain motion.

[Neuralink @neuralink]

We’ve built a surgical robot to automate key steps in the process of receiving a Neuralink implant to promote safety, reliability, and scalability.

Learn more about the role of the robot and its future potential from the engineers helping develop it.

[P8•N1CK @Telepath_8]

@NYKChannel Smort! Drilling through air will be way cheaper than drilling through earth. That’s just good business sense right there!

[Neuralink @neuralink]

We are working to restore mobility that was lost due to disease or spinal cord injury by allowing participants to control robotic arms with their thoughts.

See how this is possible.

[P8•N1CK @Telepath_8]

@Vanguard0x @TibaneLabs Thanks bud!

[P8•N1CK @Telepath_8]

Staying alive is getting harder and I’m still here. Thank you for standing in line awhile with me.

[P8•N1CK @Telepath_8]

Embrace the Quake. This is the vibe tonight and the anthem for the duration. Thank you @gwatsky for putting words and sound to this.

Life with ALS or a spinal cord injury often means navigating a gradual or sudden loss of independence.

Neuralink aims to restore autonomy to those with unmet medical needs—starting with device control and communication, and expanding toward vision and other applications.

[P8•N1CK @Telepath_8]

Big thanks to @Ricardokomotar and the rest of the gang from @UMneurosurgery! Such a great time last Tuesday getting to hang out and play some Mario Kart before the day of scans and cultures and questionnaires.

[Seth Tigchelaar, MD/PhD @sstigchelaar]

We sat down with @Telepath_8 and @neuralink to let off some steam and play Mario Kart!

His secret advantage? He shoots red shells with his mind.

@elonmusk, can we start a BCI gaming tournament?
