#438 โ€“ Elon Musk: Neuralink and the Future of Humanity

that it's about finding the right concentration of these different synthetic polymers to get the right set of consistency for the needle dynamics as they're being inserted. But we practice this surgery with the person, you know, Nolan's basically physiology and brain many, many times prior to actually doing the surgery. So to every, every step, every step, every step. Yeah.

Like where does someone stand? Like, I mean, like what you're looking at is the picture. This is in, in, in our office of this kind of corner of the robot engineering space that we, you know, have created this like mock or space that looks exactly like what they would experience. All the staff would experience doing their actual surgery. So,

I mean, it's just kind of like any dance rehearsal where you know exactly where you're going to stand at what point. And you just practice that over and over and over again with an exact anatomy of someone that you're going to surgeries. And it got to a point where a lot of our engineers, when we created a craniectomy, they're like, oh, that looks very familiar. We've seen that before. Yeah.

Yeah, the power of the mind to visualize and where, I mean, there's a whole field that studies where muscle memory lies in cerebellum. Yeah, it's incredible.

at the end of the day, the gold standard is to look at the tissue. What sort of trauma did you cause the tissue? And does that correlate to whatever behavioral anomalies that you may have seen? And that's the language to which we can communicate about the safety of inserting something into the brain and what type of trauma that you can cause.

So we actually have an entire department of pathology that looks at these tissue slices. There are many steps that are involved in doing this once you have studies that are launched with particular endpoints in mind. At some point, you have to euthanize the animal, and then you go through necropsy to collect the brain tissue samples.

You fix them in formalin, and you gross them, you section them, and you look at individual slices just to see what kind of reaction or lack thereof exists. That's the kind of the language to which FDA speaks and, you know, as well for us to kind of evaluate the safety of the insertion mechanism as well as the threats at various different time points, you know, both acute.
