Exciting times for human innovation - Neuralink's First Human Trial 💡 Yesterday, Neuralink introduced the world to Noland Arbaugh, a 29-year-old man whose life has been transformed by the company's pioneering brain-computer interface. Paralyzed from the shoulders down for eight years following a diving accident, Arbaugh's ability to play online chess and Civilization by merely using his thoughts and the Neuralink device. "If y’all can see the cursor moving around the screen, that’s all me," Arbaugh said during the livestream, showcasing the seamless integration of human thought with computer commands. Check the video shared below. It is truly amazing. A Future Charged with Possibilities This groundbreaking development comes after Neuralink received the green light from the US Food and Drug Administration for human trials. This marks a cautious yet optimistic step towards harnessing brain-computer interfaces for widespread use. Despite ethical inquiries and calls for transparency, the focus remains on these technologies' transformative potential. Reflecting on Our Collective Potential Neuralink's first patient story is not just about overcoming personal hurdles; it challenges us to rethink the boundaries of human capability and innovation. As we venture into this uncharted territory, it reminds us of technology's role in shaping a future where limitations are redefined, and possibilities are endless. In witnessing this remarkable feat, let us draw inspiration from the optimism and perseverance embodied in this venture. Here's to a future where technology continues to enhance human lives, driven by a shared commitment to pushing the limits of what's possible. #Neuralink #Innovation #tech #biotech

Neuralink is a device created by Elon Musk's company to help people with mobility issues. It is a brain implant that records, stimulates, and reproduces the electrical activity of neurons in your brain, allowing you to control external devices or software with thoughts. A 29-year-old Nolan Arbaugh was the first user of Neuralink’s cybernetic implant that was paralyzed after a “freak accident” in 2016. He said he felt lucky to be a part of Neuralink's work and was recovering well from the implantation. How does it work? Neuralink has developed a brain implant placed beneath the skull, about the size of a coin, with 64 ultra-thin threads containing 1,024 electrodes for recording neural activity. It houses multiple chips and a wireless battery. Signals are sent via Bluetooth to a brain-computer interface, enabling control of onscreen cursors or robotic limbs. I hope that in the future, more and more people with disabilities will have the opportunity to get #Neuralink, as it will change their lives for the better.

A Leap Forward: Neuralink’s First Patient Plays Chess With His Mind Neuralink has achieved a groundbreaking milestone by demonstrating the first patient, Nolan Arbaugh, using its brain implant to control a computer cursor, enabling him to play chess. This innovation opens up a new realm of possibilities for individuals with mobility challenges, allowing them to interact with digital environments in ways previously thought impossible. Neuralink's wireless device represents a significant advancement in brain-computer interfaces, offering hope and autonomy to many. The implications of this technology are vast, potentially transforming not just individual lives but our collective approach to disability and digital interaction. #Neuralink #Innovation #BrainComputerInterface #DigitalChess #TechnologyForGood https://lnkd.in/g7HE-aRN

Having experienced the transformative impact of working with individuals with reduced mobility, I am truly thrilled by the advancement that Neuralink presents. The ability to unlock new possibilities, empower autonomy, fuel creative expansion, and catalyze positive change is the result of Neuralink's work. This journey is toward a more inclusive and innovative future. Check out this video from Neuralink's first patient! #Innovation #Change #Evolution #Neuralink

Neuralink, an aspiration of company since day one. This link will drive you to a brief live broadcast in X platform where a quadriplegic patient —individual with full body paralysis due to a spinal cord injury— plays chess with the use of a Neuralink’s device. The user is able to move a cursor in the computer by imagining moves with his hand, using that neural signal to control the pointer in the screen. Part of my initial appetite for embedded systems; just fascinating! https://lnkd.in/efNqhXsT

🎉 Excited to share that our paper titled “SwiSS: Switchable Single-Sided Sparsity-based DNN Accelerators” has been accepted for publication in ACM/IEEE ISLPED 2024. 📚✨ This paper, for the first time, introduces the concept of dynamically Switchable Single-sided Sparsity (SwiSS) to enhance energy efficiency in edge AI accelerators by exploiting unbalanced sparsity in deep learning models. 🔍 Key Highlights: 🆕 SwiSS employs a novel self-adaptive dynamic sparsity selection algorithm. 🔄 SwiSS can dynamically exploit both sides of sparsity (either activation or weight side), maximizing power and area benefits in the accelerator. 📊 Evaluation Results: 💡 Up to 30.76% improvement in power overheads. 🏠 Up to 8.29% improvement in area overheads. 🚀 These improvements translate to 1.42x and 1.08x enhancements in TOPS/W and TOPS/mm², respectively, compared to a combined two-sided sparsity-based accelerator. 📉 The improvements come with a negligible drop in sparsity acceleration. 🙌 Big shoutout to my colleagues, Dr. Shamik Kundu (co-first author), Dr. Arnab Raha, and Dr. Deepak Mathaikutty from the Advanced Architecture Research group, NPU IP, Intel Corporation, for their hard work, support, and feedback throughout! #DNN #energyefficiency #weareintel #AI

State-of-Charge (#SOC) Estimation of Battery Pack under Varying Ambient Temperature Using an Adaptive Sequential Extreme Learning Machine 🔋 The use of AOS-ELM allows a gradual increase in the dataset that can be time-consuming to obtain during the initial stage of the neural network training. T he SOC prediction using AOS-ELM gives a smaller root mean squared error in testing (and small standard deviation in the trained results) and reasonable training time as compared to other types of ELM-based learnings and gradient-based machine learning. In addition, the subsequent identification of the cells’ static capacity and battery parameters from actual experiments is not required to estimate the SOC of each cell and the battery stack. 🌎 Source: https://lnkd.in/e_JsUUpJ #machinelearning #battery #artificialintelligence #research #ev #electricvehicle
