Why it matters
Blindsight would move Neuralink from decoding brain signals for device control to stimulating the brain to create visual perception. Musk's engineering-readiness claim is still ahead of the public clinical evidence: Neuralink describes U.S. vision trials as future studies.
Elon Musk says Neuralink's Blindsight, a brain implant intended to create artificial vision, is "ready from an engineering standpoint" and waiting on regulatory approval. In a post on X on October 30th, the Neuralink co-founder called it the company's "second product" and said it is intended to help people who are completely blind, including people who have never seen.…
