r0ck3t23 · x · 2026-08-29
A detailed account of quadriplegic patient Audrey using Neuralink to regain her ability to draw. Unlike assistive devices that bypass the body, Neuralink reads instructions directly from the motor cortex, achieving mouse-like precision. Audrey can create art at home unsupervised, demonstrating high control and artistic expression. With 21 implants and 15,000 hours logged without serious adverse events, cursor control already matches that of an able-bodied hand.
