If anyone wants to live tweet while watching the neuralink show and tell we can group chat here if you're a nerd like me.. lots to unpack overall the intro was WAY better than previous stuff. claims way more in line with reality, but 6 mo to human seems very challenging...

Before we all start dissecting the neuralink show and tell tomorrow I wanted to share some of the other neurotech startups that I think are doing cool stuff (besides us at @motifneuro of course!)

It’s a great #neurotechrevolution community!! 🧵 .@BlackrockNeuro_ one of the OG BCI companies. Their Utah arrays are the most used implantable human BCIs. They also just announced their new product “Neuralace” - its at the concept stage, but looks sweet! 💥 ImageImage

Thrilled to share our latest pre-print: Stimulating peripheral nerves from within blood vessels with a millimeter-sized battery-free implant.

Buckle up, it's #bioelectronics #tweeprint time!

biorxiv.org/content/10.110… The main idea is that by making bioelectronics small enough to fit through a catheter we can use a vascular neurosurgical approach to avoid open surgery and hit hard-to-reach targets like spinal cord.
