Neuralink Seeks Public Help for Data Compression in Brain Implant Trials

Elon Musk's brain-chip company is addressing technical challenges as it progresses with clinical trials involving paralyzed patients.

Neuralink's implant generates 200 times more data than it can currently transmit wirelessly.
The company has launched a public challenge to find new data compression algorithms.
Neuralink aims to enroll three patients in a study to test the brain implant's functionality.
The clinical trial will evaluate the device's potential to help paralyzed patients control digital devices with their thoughts.
The study is expected to run until 2031, with primary completion by 2026.
