Musk Announces Neuralink Achieves Non-Invasive Electrode Implantation Through Intact Dura Mater, Reducing Brain-Computer Interface Surgery Risks

Elon Musk announced on June 30 that Neuralink has successfully implanted ultra-thin electrode threads directly through the intact dura mater into the brain using a robotic system, eliminating the need to cut the protective membrane. This breakthrough significantly reduces surgical trauma and infection risk. The polyimide electrode threads, thinner than human hair, are precisely inserted by a needle that navigates around blood vessels. The technology is currently being tested in clinical trials for paralysis and neurological disorders.
