Unleashing the Power of the Mind Through Neuralink #Shorts

Each near-link N1 chip is roughly 4x4 millimeters with a thousand electrodes each. It's feasible to fit up to 10 of these inside your head in different areas, all to measure and affect different parts of your brain. Using just 256 electrodes, or about two and a half percent the number of electrodes, Neuralink eventually plans to use. Human patients have been able to control computer cursors, robotic limbs, and speech synthesizers. The full potential, with nearly 40 times that amount of electrodes, is hard to imagine.

For Neuralink, this is just the beginning, and it's already a thousand times better than what is currently approved in version one. Each electrode is inserted into your head via tiny threads that are roughly 5 micrometers thick. They're around 10 times smaller than a human hair and contain 32 electrodes each. It's roughly the same size as a neuron, which is a good idea.

There's a size limit for things that you want to stick in your head. Something too large is inevitably going to cause problems, so the smaller the better.
