Neuralink trains on 50,000 hours of brain data, hits 11.32-bit/s cursor record

Neuralink says its brain-computer interface reached a cursor-control record of 11.32 bits per second after training a foundation model on over 50,000 hours of neural activity from clinical trial participants. The company reports decoders lasting weeks instead of days and calibration dropping from about 10 minutes daily to 10 minutes weekly. The results were released as a technical update and have not been peer-reviewed.

• Cursor-control record of 11.32 bits per second
• Foundation model trained on 50,000+ hours of neural data
• Calibration cut from 10 minutes daily to 10 minutes weekly
• Decoders keep working for weeks instead of days
