Ex-Neuralink Founder: AI Enhanced Bodies Are Nearly Here w/ Max Hodak | EP #171
Science’s PRIMA retinal implant could become a revenue engine for its speculative brain-interface program, after a 38-person European trial enabled previously blind patients to read again.Reimbursement near $200,000 per U.S. patient and $150,000 in Europe could support a roughly $500 million business at 2,000–3,000 annual patients, reducing dependence on venture funding.The larger catalyst is a biohybrid “13th cranial nerve” targeting 100,000 electrodes, 1 million graft neurons, and 1 billion synapses, with primate testing expected within months but human timing still uncertain.
