Here we go. Is THAT Neuralink?

So the Neuralink is definitely an implantable device and may be used to address these problems

Musk: "There's wires and a box in your head so there is some infection risk"

That may be referring to previous tech

Here's where Neuralink looks like today. Musk: "Like a Fitbit in your head with tiny wires."

Neuralink is inductively charged.

Wow, Musk says you could get one surgically installed in an hour. A robot need to do it. #Neuralink

This pig had a Neuralink implant and then hey removed it to demonstrate upgradeability.

Gertrude pig is the metal ball of the Neuralink demo.

Gertrude has a Neuralink and it's picking up sensations from her snout

This pig has 2 Neuralinks in its head

So Neuralink implants are sensors that can track all sorts of brain activity

Some details on the Neuralink.

They got a Breakthrough Device Distinction for Neuralink from the FDA in July

This is a recruiting event. Neuralink is hiring. No prior experience on brain s required.

Musk says eventually they'd like to interface with the hypothalamus. #Neuralink

Thanks to the pig pens, it looks like @elonmusk is conducting this event from a farm house

The Neuralink threads are like 5 microns thick.

Neuralink prototype has 1024 channels for recording. They digitize signals at 20 kilohertz.

Musk: With this implant, you can think to output words to control a phone or computer. #Neuralink

Musk says "In the future, you will you be able to save and replay memories" but admits that's this is starting to sound like a Black Mirror episode. #Neuralink

The use of pigs greatly accelerated development. One they're quite similar to humans, but are also smart enough to train and easy to keep happy. "They're happy as pigs," says Musk. #Neuralink

At first #Neuralink will be quite expensive, but @elonmusk hopes to get the price down to a few thousand dollars.

Musk: "Over time, you might be able to have super human vision." Me: But this is a future, future thing, I think. #Neuralink

Musk mentions: "Non-consenual, conceptual telepathy." #Neuralink

A big part of Neuralink's potential is giving people the ability supress things like fear and pain. #Neuralink
