---|---|---|---|
2016 | July 11 | Launch | Neurlaink is founded.[1] |
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.[2] | |
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.[3] | |
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.[4][5] | |
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.[6] 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.”[7] | |
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.[8] | |
2017 | February | Notable comment | Elon Musk claims “that people would need to become cyborgs to be relevant in an artificial intelligence age.“[9][10] |
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.[11][12] | |
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.[13][14] | |
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.[15][16] | |
2019 | July | Growth | Neuralink cumulates US$158 million in funding (of which $100 million comes from Musk) and employs a staff of 90 employees.[17] |
2020 | According to July 19 Elon Musk's report, Neuralink human test of brain-computer interface could start around this year.[18][19][20] |
