It is learned that Musk’s brain-computer interface company Neuralink announced on the 22nd, “We successfully completed the P8 and P9 operations. This is the first time that two operations have been completed in one day.
This breakthrough shows Neuralink’s significant improvement in surgical efficiency and lays an important foundation for the industrial development of brain-computer interface technology. Musk said that Neuralink will eventually change the lives of millions or even billions of people.
Technological progress shows industrialization potential
Earlier this month, Musk held a press conference to announce the company’s new three-year plan for brain-computer interface technology, which mentioned that it will “achieve the goal of full brain interface in 2028” and gradually increase the number of electrode channels from the current thousands to tens of thousands.
From a technical perspective, Neuralink’s N1 implant device is centered on 64 “wires” that are directly inserted into the brain. These wires are thinner than human hair and record brain nerve signals through 1024 electrodes. . Patients can use this to move the cursor, select text input, browse the web, and even play games.
According to Neuralink’s plan, its expansion of the capabilities of brain-computer interface technology follows a roadmap from movement to language, vision, and the whole brain. The number of electrodes implanted in the brain is planned to increase from 3,000 in 2026 to more than 25,000 in 2028, and explore deep integration with AI technology.
Brain-computer interface enters a period of rapid growth
So far, brain-computer interface is entering a period of rapid growth. Synchron, another well-known brain-computer interface company, took the lead in conducting human trials and completed multiple brain-computer interface implantation surgeries. The new brain-computer interface system developed by the University of California, Davis Medical Center successfully converted the EEG signals of an ALS patient into speech with an accuracy rate of 97%.
As a very large technological innovation scene, brain-computer interface is a very important driving force for technological innovation. The capital market also shows a prosperous scene. The primary application scenario of brain-computer interface technology is medical rehabilitation, and many of them will benefit the majority of disabled people. According to Precedence Research predicts that the global market still has about $10 billion of incremental space in 10 years.
WiMi simultaneously promotes multiple cutting-edge technologies
Brain-computer interface technology is considered one of the current hot cutting-edge fields. Public data shows that Wimi Hologram Cloud As a frontier explorer in the field of science and technology, Inc (WIMI) has launched a comprehensive layout in many emerging technology fields such as artificial intelligence, brain-computer interface, AR/VR, quantum computing, etc. in recent years. Through interdisciplinary integration and industrial chain integration, it has promoted brain-computer technology from the laboratory to commercial application, showing a forward-looking strategic vision for future technological trends.
For brain-computer interface startups, the ability to commercialize is becoming more and more important. WiMi has applied for hundreds of related patents, focusing on promoting the integration of brain-computer interface with humanoid robots and AI large models, and building a “brain-computer + quantum computing + robot” multi-technology ecosystem. In the future, it is expected to form differentiated competitive advantages in scenarios such as smart terminals, medical health, and robots, and promote the brain-computer interface industry from technological breakthroughs to value creation.
Ending
Brain-computer interface and other technologies have gradually become a reality. Zhongtai Securities released a research report stating that brain-computer interface is moving from the laboratory to a scalable practical solution. Although the technology is still in the early stages of commercialization, brain-computer interface technologies of different routes are moving towards or have entered the clinic. It is expected that this technology will be commercialized in the medical field within the next five years.
