Neuralink says its engineers recently visited a speech restoration study participant for a 72-hour hackathon.
The goal: rapidly prototype as many features as possible to improve communicating via thought with the implant. The team shared a thread of what they built — a rare hands-on look at BCI iterating directly with a user in a medical rehab setting.
