Neuralink Implants Third Brain Chip. Plans '20 or 30' This Year, Eventually 'Blindsight' Devices

'Neuralink Corp.'s brain-computer device has been implanted in a third patient,' reports Bloomberg, 'and the company has plans for about 20 to 30 more implants in 2025, founder Elon Musk said.'

In an interview streamed on X.com, Musk says 'We've got now three humans with Neuralinks implanted and they're all working well,' according to The Times of India:

'We upgraded the devices, they'll have more electrodes, basically higher bandwidth, longer battery life and everything. So, expect 20 or 30 patients this year with the upgraded Neuralink devices....'

'[O]ur next part will be Blindsight devices where even if somebody has lost both eyes or has lost the optic nerve, we can interface directly with the visual cortex in the brain and enable them to see. We already have that working in monkeys,' Musk added.
