7 People Now Have Elon Musk’s Neuralink Brain Implant | PCMag https://www.pcmag.com/news/7-people-now-have-elon-musks-neuralink-brain-implant

NEWS: Neuralink has released what their product evolution will look like in the next few years.
Highlights:
• Q3 2025: They are planning to implant directly into the speech cortex to directly decode attentive words from brain signals to speech.
• 2026: Triple number of electrodes from 1,000-3,000 for more capabilities. Planning on having first blindsight participant to enable navigation.
2027: Triple number of electrodes again to 10,000. Enable for the first time multiple implants (motor cortex, speech cortex, visual cortex).
2028: Get to 25,000 channels per implant. Have multiple of these. Have ability to access any part of the brain for psychiatric conditions, pain, and also start to demonstrate what it would be like to innovate with AI. https://x.com/SawyerMerritt/status/1938651506531574057
