Q & A
What significant event did Elon Musk announce a few months ago related to Neuralink?
-Elon Musk announced that Neuralink had successfully implanted their first brain-computer interface, known as a 'neuralink chip,' into a real-life human.
What was the initial concern regarding the silence following the Neuralink human implant?
-There was concern that the silence might indicate a failure or adverse outcome, as people feared the implant might have exploded and the patient, referred to as patient zero, might not have survived.
What was revealed about the Neuralink implant after the period of silence?
-It was revealed that the Neuralink implant was successful, and the results were described as 'mind-blowing.'
Who is the first-ever user of the Neuralink device and what condition did he have prior to the implant?
-The first-ever user of the Neuralink device is a 29-year-old man named Nolan who was paralyzed from the shoulders down due to a diving accident.
How does Nolan demonstrate the capabilities of the Neuralink device?
-Nolan demonstrates the capabilities of the Neuralink device by controlling a mouse cursor to play games like chess and Civilization VI using only his thoughts, without any eye tracking or sensors other than the chip in his brain.
How is the Neuralink chip implanted into the brain?
-The Neuralink chip is implanted using a surgical robot that drills a hole into the cranium and inserts tiny threads, finer than a human hair, into the brain. These threads contain high-density electrodes capable of detecting electrical activity or brain waves.
How many electrodes does the N1 chip have and how are they distributed?
-The N1 chip has 1,024 electrodes distributed across 64 threads, which means there are 16 electrodes per thread.
What is the advantage of having electrodes inside the skull rather than on the outside?
-Having electrodes inside the skull reduces the likelihood of signal interference before the signal reaches the electrode, leading to more accurate detection of brain waves.
How do brain waves relate to the functionality of the Neuralink device?
-Different brain waves correspond to different levels of alertness and focus. The Neuralink device is particularly interested in measuring gamma waves, which occur when a person is highly focused, as these can be associated with specific thoughts and used to control actions.
What is required for the end user to use the Neuralink device effectively?
-The end user needs to practice a variety of movements and thoughts to train the brain-computer interface. This process helps the system learn which thoughts correspond to which movements or actions.
What potential future integrations could significantly impact the lives of individuals with disabilities?
-Future integrations of brain chips with advanced robotic technologies, such as exoskeletons or humanoid robots, could revolutionize the way individuals with disabilities interact with the world, making their limitations far less restrictive.

Highlights
Elon Musk's Neuralink has successfully implanted its first brain-computer interface into a human.
The initial silence following the implantation led to global concerns about the procedure's outcome.
The first human subject of the Neuralink device was Nolan Arbau, a 29-year-old man paralyzed from the shoulder down.
Arbau has developed telekinetic-like abilities, such as controlling a computer mouse with his thoughts.
The Neuralink chip contains 1,024 electrodes distributed across 64 threads, far surpassing traditional electroencephalogram (EEG) sensors.
The chip is not installed by a human surgeon but by a robotic system that weaves fine threads into the brain.
The N1 chip transmits data wirelessly and is powered by an inductively charged lithium-ion battery.
Understanding how the technology works involves learning about brain waves and their frequencies.
Gamma waves, which occur during high focus, are key to identifying specific thought patterns for control.
Post-surgery, a brain-computer interface is required for the user to practice correlating thoughts with movements.
The technology has the potential to revolutionize the lives of those with disabilities, possibly integrating with future robotic technologies.
Despite skepticism, Neuralink data only flows one way, ensuring user safety and privacy.
The technology cannot identify complex thoughts, preventing potential misuse by authorities.
Clinical trials for Neuralink's founder's edition brain chip are open to the public.
The Code Report's coverage of this breakthrough technology showcases the potential future of human abilities.
Transcripts
a few months ago Elon Musk announced
neuralink had implanted their first
brain ship into a real life human but in
the weeks that followed we heard nothing
but
crickets based on the prior testing
results with monkeys doctors scientists
and Elon haters all over the world
feared the worst they assume the enlon
likely exploded and patient zero did not
survive finally yesterday we learned the
truth the neurolink install was a
success and the results are absolutely
mind-blowing first ever user of the Nur
link device and I think you're my only
telekinetic friend that I have yeah I
hope so it is March 21st 2024 and you're
watching the code report this is Nolan
arbau he's a 29-year-old who was
paralyzed from the shoulder down in a
diving accident that's not the best card
to be dealt in life but over the last
few weeks he's gained telekinetic like
abilities that seem impossible at first
glance like here he's controlling a
mouse cursor to play games like chess
and Civ 6 using nothing but his thoughts
there's no eye tracking or sensors other
than the chip in his brain in today's
video we'll find out exactly how this
crazy technology works and make some
predictions about where things are going
in the future but first I think Humanity
owes this guy a huge amount of respect
and appreciation the average person
thinks they're brave for being an early
adopter of the cybertruck but it takes
real balls of stainless steel to order
the foundation series neuralink what's
crazy is that the chip itself is not
installed by a human surgeon but rather
a surgical robot after drilling a hole
into your cranium it implants a bunch of
tiny threads that are finer than a human
hair it uses a tiny needle like a sewing
machine to weave these threads into your
brain each thread contains contains high
density electrodes which are capable of
detecting electrical activity also known
as brain waves the N1 ship has 1,24
electrodes distributed across 64 threads
which means you have 16 electrodes per
thread to put that in perspective a
typical Electro andram will have around
20 sensors and they typically max out
around 256 electrodes in addition
they're on the outside of your skull
which means you're more likely to get
interference before that signal reaches
the electrode the only real Advantage is
that you don't have to drill a hole into
your skull the N1 trans mits data
wirelessly and is powered by a small
lithium ion battery and that battery is
charged wirelessly from the outside via
an inductive charger but the big
question here is how is this guy
actually moving a mouse with his
thoughts well in order to understand
that we need to learn a little bit about
brain waves when you're asleep your
brain emits low frequency delta waves
around 2 Herz when you wake up and
become a little more alert they increase
their frequency to Alpha Waves at around
10 Herz and then finally when you become
highly focused like when solving a
coding problem or playing chess they
become gamma waves at around 35 Herz and
that's what we're most interested in
measuring because we can recognize
certain wave patterns just like a
soundwave which can identify a distinct
thought in your brain they didn't
provide a ton of detail in the neuralink
video but he might have a thought like
move my right arm that creates a
specific type of electrical signal in
his brain the chip itself can then pick
up on that which triggers an action to
move the mouse to the right but that
doesn't happen magically right after the
surgery there's a brain computer
interface where the end user needs to
practice a bunch of movements because
everybody's brain waves are different
and it needs to learn which thoughts
correspond to which movements now if you
have working arms and legs you might not
be all that excited but for many this
technology could be life-changing
especially when integrated with
futuristic Technologies like today we
have wheelchairs but in the Noto distant
future they could be replaced by Mech
suits that are entirely controlled by
the person's brain I know that sounds
crazy but the field of Robotics is also
popping off right now figure one has
incredible humanlike dexterity and
Nvidia just announced their own humanoid
world and it's only a matter of time
before there's an apple robot Pro when
brain chips and Robotics converge in the
near future human disabilities may be
far less restrictive and that's a big
win for Humanity now brain chips do have
their Skeptics for obvious reasons but
luckily the data only flows one way you
don't have to worry about getting KFC
advertisements injected into your dreams
and they won't be able to turn off
important bodily functions if you don't
pay your monthly subscription also they
can't really identify highly complex
thoughts which means there's no need to
worry about being thrown in jail for
wrong think while the NSA monitors your
thoughts and most importantly there
won't be an API for JavaScript
developers to build apps on it now
finally the good news is that you can be
an early adopter as well clinical trials
are open for the neuralink prime study
where you can get your Founders Edition
brain chip make sure to sign up with the
link on screen full disclosure this
video is not sponsored and I don't get
paid if you don't survive the trial so
come with me if you want to not die this
has been the code report thanks for
watching and I will see you in the next
one
