Neuralink integrates xAI’s Grok AI with a motor cortex implant to decode neural intent and reconstruct speech for an ALS patient, enabling real-time communication via AI-driven language modeling.
Key points
- Invasive implant: a five-coin–sized electrode array in the motor cortex decodes intended speech actions.
- AI integration: xAI’s Grok model refines decoded neural signals into natural language using personalized voice training.
- Ecosystem expansion: WiMi Hologram Cloud advances multidisciplinary BCI applications across medical and non-medical fields.
Why it matters: This AI-driven BCI breakthrough offers a paradigm shift in restoring communication for patients with severe neuromuscular disorders.
