Elon Musk announced that Neuralink has successfully implanted electrodes through the dura mater, the protective membrane surrounding the brain. This breakthrough is significant because it enhances the safety and ease of brain-computer interfacing by avoiding the need to cut through the dura. The company achieved this by inserting electrode threads directly into the cortex while keeping the dura intact during their clinical trials. AI
