Brad's X Account: https://x.com/ALScyborgBrad's Book: Navigate the Strait: https://amzn.to/42YnvPAWelcome to Neura Pod. In this episode, I share my interview with Brad Smith, the first person with ALS to receive the Neuralink implant. I also include video clips throughout the episode that show context at his family's home.I had the great fortune of Brad inviting me to his home. It was a great privilege to meet his caring wife and energetic three kids. I got to see how ALS… and Neuralink have affected his life… the bad and the good.Since there are many personal family photos and videos that I'm sharing here- I want to let you know Brad has watched the final version of this episode and he approved it prior to me publishing it.Neura Pod is a series covering topics related to Neuralink, Inc.

Elon Musk’s company, Neuralink is building brain implants to help paralyzed people walk again.Scientists have figured out that even when someone is paralyzed, their brain still tries to send signals to their limbs to move. It’s like the brain is shouting, “Walk!” but the message gets stuck because the spinal cord is broken. Neuralink’s plan is to steal the messages from the brain and deliver them past the broken part, so the legs can hear them again. Isn’t this remarkable?!

Neuralink has the big dream of connecting human brains directly to computers. The company was started by Elon Musk in 2016, and it’s working on something called a brain-computer interface (BCI)—a technology that lets your brain talk to machines and machines talk back to your brain.
