    • Neuralink's Blindsight device has finished engineering development and is awaiting regulatory approval (e.g., FDA) to begin human implantation trials.
    • The technology operates inversely: converting camera images into electrical signals directly inputted into the brain's visual cortex, bypassing damaged eyes and optic nerves.
    • Current data relies on long-term animal studies (monkeys implanted for three years); there are no publicly confirmed human clinical trial results or quantified performance metrics yet.
