Elon Musk’s brain-chip startup Neuralink has provided a stunning update on its patient, who received the business’s first implant in January, according to the BBC.
Noland Arbaugh, who was paralyzed in a diving accident, showed how he utilizes his Neuralink brain-chip to play chess on a computer during a nine-minute broadcast on X, formerly known as Twitter.
The company’s mission is to connect human brains to computers to help treat complex neurological diseases.
“The surgery was super easy,” Arbaugh stated during the presentation.
The 29-year-old patient described his experiences with his brain chip, revealing that he was able to play the video game Civilization VI for eight hours owing to Neuralink.
However, he acknowledged that the new technology had “some issues” and was not flawless.The company’s device, approximately the size of a quarter, is placed into Arbaugh’s skull and equipped with microscopic wires that can detect neuron activity and transmit a wireless signal to a receiving unit.
