Bionics This Week – May 18, 2026 🚀
The bionic frontier is accelerating fast. Here are the biggest developments from the past week across Neuralink, BCI, exoskeletons, and the full stack of human augmentation.
One giant leap at a time.

1-Year Anniversary of getting a Neuralink:
Jun 13
One year ago today, I received my @neuralink implant.
Most anniversaries in my life these days revolve around ALS. Milestones I never asked for. Reminders of what this disease has taken.
Today is different.
Today is an anniversary of strength. An anniversary of courage. An anniversary of possibility.
Over the past year, I’ve had the opportunity to help develop telepathic 10-finger typing, work on technology that could allow someone to control a wheelchair with their brain, and even help advance systems that allow a robotic arm to mimic physical movements through thought alone 🧠
As I reflect on this milestone, I can’t help but think about Nick. He was one of my biggest advocates and supporters. He believed in me, fought for me, and encouraged me every step of the way. I wish he were here to see what we’ve accomplished together, but I know he’s been with me through all of it.
This past year hasn’t just changed my life. It has shown what’s possible for millions of people living with paralysis, ALS, spinal cord injuries, and other conditions that rob people of their independence.
The technology is evolving faster than most people realize, and I truly believe we’re witnessing the start of something that will change countless lives forever.
One year down. And the future has never looked more exciting.

Brad Smith is Neuralink’s 3rd human recipient overall, the first with ALS, and the first non-verbal patient
He received the N1 brain implant on November 8, 2024. ALS had left him fully paralyzed and unable to speak, so the implant is now his only way to communicate
Using only his thoughts, Brad can:
• Move a cursor on a MacBook Pro at blazing speed
• Edit entire videos (he created & posted the first video ever edited purely by brain control)
• Type messages and speak using an AI voice cloned from his own pre-ALS recordings
• Control a motorized AI webcam
His family now hears his real, warm voice again....not robotic text-to-speech
As of early 2026, Brad (@ALScyborg) is doing incredibly well
All of this was powered by Neuralink’s brain-computer interface. The future is awesome 🧠💻

Real-world clinical evidence continues to build.
Patients using advanced exoskeletons and BCI systems are showing measurable gains in daily function and independence. This kind of outcome data is what drives broader adoption and better device iteration. @IEEEembs
When #exoskeleton support changes suddenly, how does the brain & body respond?
New paper: Human cortical brain and biomechanical responses to abrupt changes in exoskeleton assistance while walking explores both neural & movement dynamics.

🚀 Just sat down with @farzyness for one of the most insightful conversations I’ve had in a while.
Farzad is a former Tesla leader, author of Abundance or Collapse, and one of the clearest thinkers on AI, robotics, and energy.
We went deep on:
Why Tesla’s “chaos” is actually its biggest strength
The powerful AI Robotics Energy flywheel
Robotaxi economics and when profitability hits
Optimus, the future of work, and the Barbell Effect
His bold ideas on government, term limits, and removing income tax
Why he walked away from Tesla to go fully independent
This one is full of first-principles thinking and real optimism about what’s coming.

Myomo’s functional electrical stimulation exoskeletons are delivering measurable mobility gains for patients with upper-limb weakness.
When these hardware solutions pair with advancing BCI control, the path to fuller independence becomes much more achievable for veterans and others.

Patient Spotlight Monday: The Cybernauts continue to show what’s possible in real time.
From thought-to-action to restored voice and daily independence, each story adds critical human data that accelerates the entire field.
BCI/FSD integration is key. One giant leap. 🚀
🚀 Episode 29 just dropped!
I’m beyond excited to share my deep-dive conversation with @CernBasher — Chartered Financial Analyst and CIO of Brilliant Advice.
We explore how Tesla’s Cybercab is far more than a vehicle… it’s a potential “money machine” for individual owners! From building compounding fleets that generate serious passive income, to real-world economics on utilization, costs, and Tesla’s take rate — his spreadsheet models are next-level.
We also unpack his unique view of Bitcoin as digital security technology for the coming AI-agent era, the massive lifestyle shifts ahead (goodbye idle cars and school-run marathons!), Optimus, and why Tesla’s vision goes way beyond just making cars. Mind-blowing stuff! 🔥
📹 Full video attached — press play and enjoy!
YouTube link coming in the first reply.
Ready to send your own Cybercab to pick up the kids (and have it pay for itself)? Drop your thoughts below 👇

A quiet Sunday note: the Cybernaut community continues to grow in both numbers and impact.
From the first 21 patients sharing real daily wins to the labs publishing transparent data, the momentum is real and accelerating.
Looking forward to another strong week ahead.

Not only can I attest to the truth of your statements, but I can probably attribute about $35K of donations to my fundraiser because of the attention you gave me when I was a tiny account. I suppose there aren't enough of us for you to do a Neuralink list :)

The future isn't coming, it's here, and it's bright.
Hyundai is using Boston Dynamics’ Atlas humanoid robot as a branding hero for its FIFA World Cup sponsorship.
Atlas is shown performing soccer moves, including a rabona, with follow-through mechanics that look unusually human.

The bionic horizon is coming into focus faster than most realize.
Seamless BCI wearable exoskeletons working together so naturally that daily independence for the next wave of patients will look completely different from today.
One giant leap at a time. 🚀

The expanding Cybernaut network and growing real-world stories from patients like Audrey @NeuraNova9 and Nolan @ModdedQuad continue to build the evidence base that matters most.
More transparent patient data = faster progress for everyone coming next.

Paradromics’ Connexus platform advancing in human trials adds another high-data-rate option in the BCI space.
Multiple platforms progressing in parallel speed up iteration and ultimately deliver better outcomes for patients. We should continue to watch and support @paradromics.
May 28
Accessing the brain unlocks more capabilities than most companies are building for. We're starting to ask what else is possible.
Paradromics CEO and Founder @Matt_R_Angle recently joined journalist Moira Gunn at @SynBioBeta 2026 to reveal what happens when you treat neural data as a platform rather than a pathway to a single application.
The same hardware that helps someone regain the ability to communicate can be repositioned to help control a robotic arm. Place the device in areas of the brain involved in mood and cognition, and you're reading out something entirely different.
Each time you place the device in a new brain area, you open up new frontier applications.

The detailed bench science coming from labs like @BIONIC_Lab on long-term tissue response and metabolic stress is exactly what the Cybernauts and the entire field need right now.
Transparent data like this accelerates safer, longer-lasting implants for everyone.
🧠 A logic failure that costs the BCI field decades
PI: "mechanism A is sufficient to drive outcome B, here's the intervention experiment."
Critic: "you haven't shown A is the only cause, B also depends on C, D, E."
PI: "yes, those matter too."
Critic: "then you proved nothing."
