The primary goal of the initial Neuralink implants is to solve fundamental neurological damage such as spinal cord or brain injuries.

“so it's like very, the simple stuff, relatively speaking, is solving neuron damage. It can also solve I think probably schizophrenia. If people have seizures of some kind, it could probably solve that. It could help with memory.”

Being the first human to receive a Neuralink implant was a worthwhile experience despite the inherent risks.

“there's something about being the first one to do something. It's pretty cool. I always thought that if I had the chance that I would like to do something for the first time, this seemed like a pretty good opportunity, and I was never scared.”

Neuralink devices must be designed to avoid causing thermal damage to the surrounding brain tissue.

“There's a very strict regulation and good reasons to not actually increase the surrounding tissue temperature by two degrees Celsius.”

The implementation of Neuralink video game implants will likely become ubiquitous within the next decade.

“That being said, I think we're uh in the next 10 years, Neuralink video games implants will be substantially more ubiquitous.”
