Elon Musk says Neuralink is building a surgical robot designed to reach any brain region with high precision. The automated system uses sensors and cameras to guide ultrathin electrode threads while accounting for brain movement from breathing and heartbeat. Neuralink’s goal is a “generalised neural interface” that could expand beyond movement conditions toward conditions like epilepsy, Parkinson’s, and sensory disorders—if safety and long-term durability hold up.
