Precision Neuroscience

“So we did our first Patient implant within two years of founding, you know, took Neuralink eight years. It's taken other competitors even longer than that.”

“We already know actually that the latency between your brain and your hand and the ability to think something and type it is around 25 milliseconds. So that actually puts a, Biological hard limit on how fast you can interact with the digital world, even though…”

“We expect within five years there to be precision system on the market and maybe one or two others that are making a big clinical impact for people who are severely paralyzed and then expanding from the sort of two and a half billion dollar a year market that …”

“So what we are going to enable in, in people who are right now paralyzed is seamless control of computers and smartphones and other digital devices in the way that we all frankly take for granted every day. So think about, you know, rich video games productivi…”

“The medium term vision for precision is a much larger electrode array covering much greater areas of the brain's Cortex with hundreds of thousands, someday millions of electrodes.”

“We're actually the first modern brain computer interface company to have a FDA clearance. So the version of the electrode that you were holding in your hand actually has now FDA clearance. So among the current leading BCI companies, we're the only company that…”

“We feel, and we're working on this that brain computer interface technology can provide a tool for distinguishing those patients from true coma, and yes, providing a way for them to communicate.”

“And in practical terms you know, we think that probably stroke represents the next expansion of the market for brain computer interfaces.”

“And we've done that actually many times in, in quite a few patients we've used at least two of these simultaneously providing 2048 electrodes on the surface of the human brain. And in one particular case, we used 4096 electrodes for modules.”

“There are about 400,000 people who have no use of their arms and hands. And so for them being able to control a computer A computer, a smartphone, a tablet, it's going to be life changing. And we think that that's a sort of two and a half billion dollar market…”

“Precision has now done 40 implants. That's more than the rest of the industry combined in the past two years.”

“I think the companies that are able to record at high fidelity and then transmit the neural data are going to be able to create an ecosystem around them to do all sorts of things that are right now not possible.”

“We're moving to a next phase in our clinical studies that will allow the system to be left in place for up to 30 days, and that phase will help us further validate the quality of our decoding algorithms and deeply understand the nature of the signals as these …”

“We actually own the fab in which we do it. There is no domestic supply chain that's capable of this sort of work.”

“And yet we've begun to be able to do that in ways that are incredibly reliable And in ways that patients can learn to achieve cursor control actually within just a couple of minutes of training data.”

“In the precision system, one of the inherent advantages is that the data is so regular in structure that we're able to compress it. We're able to learn across patients, across populations, and leverage those learnings in the machine learning algorithms that we…”
