What's inside a Neuralink implant?
Neuralink uses microCT imaging to see inside their sealed implants.
@jamesdouma
explains:
At Neuralink, we have imaging capabilities that let us see exactly what’s going on in fully sealed devices. For implant debugging, we often capture high-resolution 2D and 3D images with microCT. It’s what’s on the inside that counts ♥️

I expect the funds to be used for hiring, expansion of the facilities in Austin, and the first in-human implantations.

@JamesWLaw1

@ResidentSponge
Definitely. Might be less than 5 years away, as current version Neuralinks are semi-generalized neural read/write devices with ~1000 electrodes and tinnitus probably needs <<1000.
