Meet the Designer Behind Neuralink’s Surgical Robot
WiredAfshin Mehin has become the go-to designer for companies working on devices that aim to tap into or modulate the brain. The creative agency he founded, San Francisco–based Card79, has worked with Elon Musk’s Neuralink to design a surgical robot for installing a coin-sized implant into people’s heads. Mehin worked with Neuralink to design the external parts of this system—the installation robot and also a wearable that would sit behind the ear and transfer data and power to an implanted wireless receiver. Neuralink unveiled a more simplified design in 2020 that is cosmetically invisible once in place, but it kept the look and feel of the robot that Card79 helped dream up. The agency has since worked with Cognito Therapeutics, which is testing a headset to slow cognitive decline in Alzheimer’s patients, and Science Corp., a startup founded by former Neuralink president Max Hodak that is developing a visual prosthesis for the blind.
