Paralyzed Woman Uses Neuralink to Control Computer With Mind
Neuralink, founded by Elon Musk, has achieved a breakthrough.
A woman named Audrey Crews, who has been paralyzed for two decades, successfully used a Neuralink brain implant to type her name on a computer just by thinking about it.
The implant, inserted into her skull, picks up brain signals.
These signals are then translated into actions.
This technology can control external devices.
The surgery involved threads placed in the motor cortex.
Audrey Crews, a Neuralink patient, became the first woman to control a computer with her mind.
Crews, paralyzed for 20 years, typed her name on a computer using only her thoughts.
The brain implant, known as a BCI, is placed inside the skull with threads reaching the motor cortex.
The implant captures brain signals, enabling control of external devices.
Neuralink performed two brain implant surgeries in a single day in July 2025.
