Overview

• Audrey Crews, identified as patient P9, used her Neuralink implant to type her name purely through thought for the first time in 20 years.
• The coin-sized N1 device was implanted under her skull with 128 ultra-thin threads in her motor cortex to detect neural signals and transmit them wirelessly.
• Neuralink achieved its first same-day dual implant surgeries by placing chips in both P8 and P9 during a single clinical session.
• Crews emphasized that the implant enables digital interaction only and does not restore muscle movement or walking ability.
• Neuralink is expanding its PRIME human trial, refining implant performance and moving toward a 2030 commercial launch of its Blindsight vision-restoring chip.
