Neuralink Telepathy: Elon Musk says thought-based communication could outpace speech and typing – CNBC TV18

Elon Musk has said Neuralink's first product, Telepathy, is designed to enable high-speed communication with computers and other people through thought, with its output bandwidth potentially surpassing the fastest human speech or typing speeds within a few years.

In a post on X, Musk said: “It enables high-speed communication with computers or humans simply by thinking. Output bandwidth will vastly exceed the fastest human speech or typing in a few years. Read that sentence again,” he wrote.

The statement points to a future in which people could communicate through brain signals without relying on conventional methods such as speaking, typing or using physical controls.

Musk's post comes a day after Neuralink shared details of a 72-hour engineering sprint with a participant in its speech-restoration study. During the session, engineers tested several features designed to make communication through brain signals easier, including automatic speech detection, an AI-powered computer agent, mobile app improvements and phone-call integration.

So, how have Neuralink participants been communicating until now, and what is new in the latest developments?

Neuralink has been developing brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) that record neural activity and translate it into commands to control external devices. Its first product, Telepathy, is designed to help people…
