School's out for summer! Here's daddy-daughter time with one of our participants.: technical breakdown, key moments and clinical context
Published on 11 July 2025 ('School's out for summer! Here's daddy-daughter time with one of our participants.', 0:57 Short), this clip shows a PRIME study participant with ALS using his N1 implant independently at home to play computer games and spend time with his young daughter.
- Primary record: Official
@neuralinkshort (ojLxgTFh3Bk) published on 11 Jul 2025 (duration0:57). - What it shows: Cosmetic invisibility and wireless home usability of the N1 implant during everyday family life.
- Technical pathway: Motor cortex → wireless N1 implant → independent home computer/game interaction with family.
- Evidence boundary: 57-second home-life Short from a PRIME study participant.

How this fits into Neuralink's broader clinical and hardware roadmap
This video sits inside the Movement & computer control (Telepathy) 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.
