Overview
- Audrey Crews, paralyzed since a 2005 car crash, became the first woman to mentally write her name in 20 years using Neuralink’s brain-computer interface.
- She received her implant at University of Miami Health Center earlier this month under FDA-approved PRIME study protocols.
- Crews showcased further abilities by drawing, scrolling and typing on a virtual keyboard through thought-driven commands.
- Neuralink conducted its first pair of implants in a single weekend for participants P8 and P9, marking an accelerated phase in its human trials.
- While enabling digital communication, the Link device still does not restore physical movement and Neuralink is recruiting more paralyzed participants to refine its system.
