About Neuralink

Neuralink Corp. is an American neurotechnology company that is developing implantable brain–computer interfaces (BCIs), based in Fremont, California, as of 2022. Founded by Elon Musk and a team of seven scientists and engineers, Neuralink was launched in 2016 and was first publicly reported in March 2017.

Since its founding, the company has hired several high-profile neuroscientists from various universities. By July 2019, it had received $158 million in funding (of which $100 million was from Musk) and was employing a staff of 90 employees. At that time, Neuralink announced that it was working on a "sewing machine-like" device capable of implanting very thin (4 to 6 μm in width threads into the brain, and demonstrated a system that read information from a lab rat via 1,500 electrodes. They had anticipated starting experiments with humans in 2020, but have since moved that projection to 2023. As of May 2023, they have been approved for human trials in the United States.

Neuroprivacy, neurosecurity and brain-hacking: Emerging issues in neural engineering​

Abstract​

With the current capability in microtechnology and computational neuroscience, there is the opportunity to develop devices that can effectively establish a connection pathway between the human nervous system and interfaced electromechanical systems. Brain-controlled computer systems, robotic limbs, neuroprostheses, brain-stimu-lators, cognitive orthotics, memory aids, hearing and visual implants, are no longer domain of science fiction; they are already commercialized medical technologies or well-corroborated research prototypes. While neural engineering can have a groundbreaking impact on neurological care and radically improve the quality of life of neurological patients, it raises the issues of dual-use and information security.

Neurosecurity: Human Brain Electro-optical Signals as MASINT​

Applied neuroscience presently allows not only the scientific discovery-oriented probing of the inner workings of the mind, but increasingly the probing of individual minds toward gathering intelligence. Significant advances in neuroimaging, leveraging both active and passive electro-optical energy, can reveal specifics of information held in the mind even without cooperation (e.g., Lange et al., 2018; Sawyer et al., 2016a). The processes of the brain increasingly join many other energetic sources from which quantitative and qualitative data analysis may extract identifying features and other useful intelligence (Sawyer & Canham, 2019). Indeed, it is increasingly appropriate to discuss the human brain as a system which can be read from, written to, and the operations of which may therefore be collected for analysis or influenced (Sawyer & Canham, 2019). We argue here that we are witnessing the end of the era in which human thought is generally accepted as an entirely private process, the starting point of an unquestionably remarkable transition. The collection of unintended emissions and byproducts toward intelligence fits well into the mold of Measurement and Signals Intelligence, and indeed Measurement and Signature Intelligence (both MASINT, Macartney, 2001), and so we believe this community within the Intelligence Community is wellsuited to discuss these new realities of neurosecurity, as it helped shape many formative discussions surrounding cybersecurity. A MASINT perspective on biological, neural
signatures comes with the need to discuss current capabilities, projected technological arc, practicalities, and potential abuses.

With Apple Vision Pro, one day it will read your mind and heart without you even knowing. It will process this with artificial intelligence.

Brain microchips or microchips attached to the body as implants or with a device also pose a similar danger.
