Kenneth answered his own phone call for the first time with Neuralink

You can see just how happy Kenneth is as he talks to his mom on the phone by himself for the first time using Neuralink, and it's absolutely incredible

Kenneth has ALS, and until now, his wife Cheryl had to interpret for him whenever he took a phone call

So the Neuralink team built a system to give him back that independence:

• His intended speech is decoded from brain signals into words
• The Speech app sends his synthesized voice directly into the call
• Kenneth hears his own words without creating an echo

Then his mom called, and Kenneth was finally able to have the conversation himself

“I am going to hang up and make dinner now. We are going to have Korean"
"Love you, son”

For most people, that's just an ordinary phone conversation. But for Kenneth, it's an extraordinary moment of independence

Neuralink isn't just restoring communication. It's giving people back their independence and the everyday moments with loved ones that mean everything
