Elon Musk said his company Neuralink plans to begin “high-volume” production of its brain-computer implant in 2026.
The tech entrepreneur made the announcement in a post on X.
The Neuralink device is designed to connect the human brain to a computer by reading electrical signals from neurons and translating them into digital commands.
The technology is aimed at allowing users to control devices or regain lost physical function through thought alone.
According to the company, electrodes are positioned near neurons in the brain to “detect action potentials,” enabling the implant to “decode information represented by those cells.”
Neuralink’s website explains that, in movement-related regions of the brain, neurons encode intended motion:
“In the movement-related areas of the brain, for example, neurons represent intended movements,” the site reads.
“There are neurons in the brain that carry information about everything we see, feel, touch, or think.”
The chip is described as fully implantable and cosmetically invisible.
It measures approximately 1.75 inches thick.
Neuralink began human trials in 2024 after addressing safety concerns raised by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
The FDA had previously rejected its initial application in 2022.
In April, a paralyzed ALS patient, Brad Smith, became the third person to receive a Neuralink implant and is now able to type using his brain.
Smith, an Arizona husband and father who relies on a ventilator, shared a video demonstrating how he uses the brain-computer interface to control the mouse on his MacBook Pro.
He wrote:
“I am typing this with my brain.
“It is my primary communication.”
He also thanked Musk in the same post, which the Tesla CEO later shared.
As of September, Neuralink said 12 people with severe paralysis worldwide have received the implant, according to a company post on X.
Those patients are using it to control digital and physical tools through thought.
