This Is: How Neuralink Builds A Head
Duration: 00:01:37
September 19, 2025
- Fran Romano and the Neuralink surgery engineering team create highly realistic, patient-specific 3D models called "proxies" to mimic human anatomy for neurosurgical practice.
- These proxies are created using a variety of techniques, including 3D printing, silicone molding, and hydrogel freezing, utilizing patient CT and MRI scans to ensure anatomical accuracy.
- The use of these proxies allows neurosurgeons to practice complex procedures on a realistic model of a patient's brain before the actual surgery, aiming to reduce surprises and improve surgical outcomes.
