How this fits into Neuralink's broader clinical and hardware roadmap

This video sits inside the Foundational & preclinical milestones (2019–2022) research track on StonkBuilder's independent Neuralink hub. All Neuralink hardware (the N1 implant and R1 surgical robot) and clinical programs (PRIME NCT06429735, CONVOY, and VOICE NCT07224256) remain investigational and have not received FDA commercial marketing authorization. Read our full companion guide at Foundational & preclinical milestones (2019–2022) for cohort context.
