AsianFin— Neuralink, Elon Musk’s brain-computer interface company, has made major progress, revealing that it now has seven human test subjects. In a one-hour video released on June 27 local time, Neuralink detailed its latest breakthroughs and future ambitions.

Among the participants are four individuals with spinal cord injuries and three with ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), all of whom are actively using Neuralink’s implant technology. The devices are reportedly in frequent use, averaging around 50 hours per week, with peak usage exceeding 100 hours.

One test subject, Alex — a spinal injury patient — is expected to use the Neuralink interface to control the mechanical hand of Tesla’s humanoid robot, Optimus, enabling more complex actions. Musk emphasized that in the future, humans may be able to fully control Optimus using Neuralink, marking a significant leap toward seamless brain-to-robot integration.
