The company announced on its account on the social network X (formerly Twitter) that it received permission to begin research on the possibility of expanding the interface between the brain and the computer. 24 Channels.

The robots will be controlled using the N1 implant. It will help communicate and exchange signals with the human brain.

Although human testing is still many years away, Neuralink sees this as an important first step in making this revolutionary technology a reality.

How is Neuralink going?

The current model of the Neuralink brain implant allows users to interact with digital tools such as computer cursors, tablets, and even video games through thought. Only two patients have received the implant so far, but the company has ambitious plans to reach millions of users over the next decade.

In addition to Convoy, Neuralink is also working on the Blindsight implant, a separate initiative designed to restore vision to even those blind from birth.

Convoy’s research aims to give paralyzed patients more than just digital capabilities by offering them the ability to control physical objects through robotic systems. Clinical use of the final device may take years.
