These channels are streams of brain data, so the more channels, the better Neuralink can understand what the patient is trying to say.

Prior devices have had around 1,000 channels, and they've shared that eventually, the devices for BlindSight and other future applications will have more than 10,000 combined channels.

And Neuralink's president, DJ, added more context for how this works.

The participant initiates this with a key press, thinks the words loudly, then commits with a second key press.
