Mr. Smith Gets a Neuralink Brain Implant and a Visit from Elon Musk
Read our exclusive feature story on Brad Smith, the Neuralink team and Elon Musk at Core Memory - https://www.corememory.com/p/exclusive-mr-smith-gets-a-neuralink
The Core Memory team spent months filming with Brad Smith, the third patient to receive Neuralink's brain-computer interface implant. Smith has suffered from ALS for several years and agreed to be part of Neuralink's clinical trial in the hopes of being able to communicate better and interact more with the outside world. We documented his journey from before the surgery to after and watched as he learned to use the device.
Along the way, Elon Musk and the Neuralink team visited with Smith and his family in never before seen footage.
