Full timeline
Year | Month and date | Event type | Details |
---|---|---|---|
2011 | Competition | Emotiv is founded as a US-based bioinformatics company which works in understanding the human brain using electroencephalography (EEG).[1] It is listed among the top Neuralink competitors.[2] | |
2015 | Competition | BrainCo is founded. The company develops brain-machine interface (BMI) technology products including sensors, hardware, software, and AI. It is listed among the top Neuralink competitors.[2] | |
2016 | July 11 | Launch | Neurlaink is founded.[3] |
2016 | Competition | Kernel is founded. It builds advanced neural interfaces to treat disease, illuminate the mechanisms of intelligence, and extend cognition. It is listed among the top Neuralink competitors.[2] | |
2017 | January | Elon Musk buys the name Neuralink to a pair of neurotechnology researchers that owned the trademark on "NeuraLink" since 2015 after creating their own startup company.[4] | |
2017 | February | Neuralink executive Jared Birchall submits a letter to the city of San Francisco's planning department giving some clues about the company’s plans and files permit to build biological research lab.[5] | |
2017 | March 28 | Elon Musk confirms the existence of Neuralink, and reveals that a longer story about Neuralink would appear on explainer website Wait But Why in a week.[6][7] | |
2017 | April 20 | Wait But Why editor Tim Urban posts the first deep look at Neuralink, after Musk petition from about a month and a half before.[8] Musk confirms plans for the company, revealing he will be the chief executive of a startup that aims to merge computers with brains so humans could one day engage in “consensual telepathy.”[9] | |
2017 | July 19 | Elon Musk talks about Neuralink in an interview at the ISS R&D Conference in Washington, DC., and says the reason he went to create Neuralink was primarily as an offset to the existencial risk associated with artificial intelligence.[10] | |
2017 | February | Notable comment | Elon Musk claims “that people would need to become cyborgs to be relevant in an artificial intelligence age.“[11][12] |
2018 | March | At a South by Southwest tech conference in Austin, Texas, Elon Musk calls AI more dangerous than nuclear warheads and says there needs to be a regulatory body overseeing the development of super intelligence.[13] | |
2018 | May | Neuralink agrees to fund primate research at the University of California. The company i expected to pay US$796,006 for research conducted at UC Davis' California National Primate Research Center, one of seven centers nationwide dedicated to the study of health and disease on primates.[14][15] | |
2018 | November | In an interview with podcaster Joe Rogan, Elon Musk says Neuralink aspires to symbiotically merge human brains with a super digital intelligence that will serve as a tertiary cognition layer augmenting the human cortex and limbic systems.[16][17] | |
2018 | November | In an interview, Elon Musk hints that Neuralink would first introduce microcontrollers to further advance computer-brain interface technology, i.e., possibly unveiling an initial version of what will eventually become a “neural lace.”[18][19] | |
2018 | November 26 | Elon Musk tweets mentioning Neuralink for the first time in 20 months, inviting people to apply for jobs at the firm alongside three of his other companies.[20][21] | |
2019 | July 16 | Elon Musk and Neuralink president Max Hodak host a presentation of the company in San Francisco, informing publicly on the latest news about the technology.[22] | |
2019 | July | Growth | Neuralink cumulates US$158 million in funding (of which $100 million comes from Musk) and employs a staff of 90 employees.[23] |
2020 | Clinical trial | According to July 19 Elon Musk's report, Neuralink human test of brain-computer interface could start around this year.[24][25][26] |
