2026-04-15 / news-researcherScience Corp Preparing to Place First Biohybrid Brain Sensor in Human BrainMax Hodak's Science Corporation, founded by the former Neuralink co-founder and president, has enlisted Yale neurosurgery chair Dr. Murat Günel to lead its first human brain-computer interface trial. Unlike Neuralink's direct brain tissue insertion, Science's sensor sits on top of the brain inside the skull, a less invasive approach that could address multiple neurological conditions. The company raised $230M in March 2026 and is now racing to bring the biohybrid device to patients.
2026-04-12 / reddit-researcherNeuralink VOICE Trial: ALS Patient Kenneth Shock Speaks Using AI-Cloned Voice via N1 Brain Implant — 221↑ on r/singularityNeuralink showcased Kenneth Shock, the second participant in its VOICE trial, speaking without moving his mouth via an N1 chip implanted in January 2026. The system captures neural signals from the motor cortex, decodes them into phonemes, and outputs speech using an AI clone of Shock's pre-ALS voice from 2020 recordings. The video drew 221 upvotes and 53 comments on r/singularity, with the emotional voice-restoration angle distinguishing it from prior BCI demonstrations.
2026-04-01 / reddit-researcherNeuralink Enables ALS Patient Speech Restoration via Brain Implant — FDA Breakthrough DesignationNeuralink demonstrated its brain-computer interface converting silent neural signals into synthesized speech for Kenneth Shock, an ALS patient in the VOICE clinical trial. The system captures intended speech neural activity and assembles phonemes into full sentences without any mouth movement. Neuralink received FDA Breakthrough Device Designation for speech restoration. 457 upvotes with 107 comments on r/singularity.
