Neuralink has implanted its brain-computer interface in its 100th patient, with all participants reporting the ability to control computers, phones, and robotic arms through thought alone.
Results After 100 Implants
- 100 patients implanted (up from 3 in early 2025)
- Success rate: 97% (3 devices removed due to complications)
- Average typing speed via thought: 60 WPM
- All quadriplegic patients regained digital independence
The FDA has expanded Neuralink's approval to include treatment for ALS and locked-in syndrome. Elon Musk suggested healthy humans could receive implants by 2028 for "cognitive enhancement."
