Neura Pod (All Things Neuralink)

After getting FDA approval last year, Neuralink has successfully completed their first in-human implantation. Ryan shares the latest news and updates in this information packed episode. Elon gave an update a couple days ago on an X Space. Oddly enough, Vladimir Putin heard about this first implantation and commented on it. There's been a lot of discussion regarding the latest VR/ AR tech product- the Apple Vision Pro. Ryan compares this functionality to a Neuralink. Ryan then goes into more investigative detail to learn about Neuralink's testing procedures. Following a (bogus) Delaware court ruling on Elon Musk's pay package at Tesla, Neuralink has officially moved out of Delaware and reincorporated in the state of Nevada.

00:16 Elon on helping quadriplegics and the blind 01:29 Neuralink background 02:52 James Douma explains how this works 04:34 Can Neuralink actually do this? 05:07 Neuralink will learn a lot 07:14 How we see 09:27 Improvements will occur rapidly 13:14 The brain is flexible Zuby x Elon Interview: https://youtu.be/pjc_oo4ApSY Think a tiny chip could be the answer to blindness? Sounds like sci-fi, right? Well, you might want to think again. Here’s a clip of Elon sharing the first two problems his company Neuralink is focused on solving. Around 40 million people around the world have some form of blindness. This number continues to grow, but fortunately this problem may become an issue of the past. If you’ve been subscribed to Neura Pod, and already understand the basics of how Neuralink will work, go ahead and skip the next 60 seconds of the video. So far, Neuralink has demonstrated they’ve successfully been able to implant this quarter-sized package in monkeys and other animals, and now that it’s time to test in humans, you’re probably wondering how this tiny package will be able to provide vision to those who don’t currently have it. Neuralink is working on building a brain-machine interface, or device that will help us send information from our brains to our computers and vice versa. The surgery will require cutting open a hole in the skull, and having a surgical robot sew these very tiny threads into the brain. The threads have probes that can detect electrical impulses from the neurons and then send this information back to the chips. Since there are many problems Neuralink hopes to solve in the future, like depression, blindness, or paralysis, they have to identify the best areas of the brain to implant these chips. In the case of paralysis for example, they’ll implant in both the motor cortex and the spinal cord. In the case of solving blindness, they’ll implant in the visual cortex in the back of the brain. I had the chance to interview James Douma and ask him for more detail on how they’ll be able to achieve this. Thanks for watching. My name is Ryan Tanaka. If you’re interested in hearing more from James about how Neuralink works, check out this video. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/neura-pod/support

We discuss:  1. Elon’s motivations for starting Neuralink 2. How Neuralinks will be implanted 3. Things Neuralink will be able to do 4. Important takeaways from the latest Show and Tell event In future episodes, we’ll dive more into: - Neuralink’s architectural decisions and plans to scale - The spike detection, decoding algorithms, and differences among brain regions - Robot/ hardware/ manufacturing - Neural shunt concept/ future projects  Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

This Elon Musk-founded company is working on surgical brain implants, that’ll enable humans to talk to each other telepathically, and help paralyzed people walk again. Unfortunately, the journey to achieving these goals is not a straight line. The engineering required to make these devices is fraught with challenges. There are also plenty of doubters, skeptics, and people who are genuinely afraid of what could happen with the new tech. This has once again become apparent recently as numerous headlines have claimed animal abuse and mistreatment at the company. This update episode will start with the allegations being made, then share the highlights of Neuralink’s response. Next, we’ll have highlights of Lex Fridman’s interview with Tim Urban, the creator of the popular website and blog: WaitButWhy. After that, we’ll talk about an exciting trip Omar and I recently took to Kernel’s company headquarters right outside Los Angeles, California- which as a reminder is the brain-interface company Elon once considered joining. Then, we’ll share highlights of Joe Rogan’s interview with YouTube phenom- Mr. Beast where they ended up chatting about Neuralink quite a bit. We’ll also share an update on the potential merging of Tesla, SpaceX, Neuralink, and the Boring Company. Lastly, we’ll discuss Neuralink and Kernel and their respective hiring needs. I also share I’ve started a company to help retirees do consulting work as easily and flexibly as possible: Reterns. https://www.reterns.com/ Join this channel to get access to perks:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDuk...
