The next version of the device is going to be more “awesome” in comparison to what was presented last year during Neuralink’s first press conference, according to the Tesla and SpaceX head.
@DOfaquarius @CathieDWood @ARKInvest Wait until you see the next version vs what was presented last year. It’s *awesome*.
Even though the company was founded in 2016, it has held only one press conference so far. The next one scheduled for August 28 will only be second. The company may announce
human trials during the live webcast on Friday.

During last year’s event, Musk asserted that the brain chip has the potential to solve several brain-related diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease, strokes, and other illnesses. He showed through a series of ‘flexible threads’ were inserted into the brain and transferred high volumes of data with over 3,000 electrodes.
Last month, he confirmed that the possibility of repairing spinal injuries could also be on the cards.
