Neuralink’s Blindsight Invention Restores Vision to the Blind with Cutting-Edge Technology

The Blindsight device from Neuralink invented promises to enable even those who have lost both eyes and their optic nerve to see. This is a great and heartwarming break in the health sector.

Provided the visual cortex is intact, it will even enable those who have been blind from birth to see for the first time.

To set expectations correctly, the vision will be at first below resolution, like Atari graphics, but eventually it has the potential to be better than natural vision and enable you to see in infrared, ultraviolet, or even radar wavelengths, like Geordi La Forge.

Elon Musk, owner of x.com, took to x to celebrate the success story of Neuralink. Neuralink on their x page stated that “We have received breakthrough device designation from the FDA for blindsight.

Neuralink is therefore inviting people with quadriplegia to participate in a groundbreaking investigational medical device clinical trial for our brain-computer interface.

It hopes these trials will be successful to help in redefining the boundaries of human capabilities, which requires pioneers like the Neuralink.

Neuralink is currently seeking people with quadriplegia to participate in a groundbreaking investigational medical device clinical trial for our brain-computer interface.

They hope to bring back the sight to those who have lost it.

The PRIME Study

Visit here to register for the trial. This is the first clinical trial of the ground-breaking device that could help transform.

The PRIME Study—an investigational medical device trial for our fully-implantable, wireless brain-computer interface (BCI)—aims to evaluate the safety of our implant and surgical robot and assess the initial functionality of our BCI for enabling people with quadriplegia to control external devices with their thoughts.

This study involves placing a small, cosmetically invisible implant in a part of the brain that plans movements. The device is designed to interpret a person’s neural activity, so they can operate a computer or smartphone by simply intending to move—no wires or physical movement are required.

This research will be the first of its kind to be performed in people and may help us find safer, more effective ways to implant and use our BCI to potentially restore and enhance computer control and other capabilities.
