Elon Musk Announces Breakthrough: Neuralink Patient Controls Computer Mouse with Mind

Elon Musk announced that the first human patient implanted with a brain-chip from Neuralink has fully recovered and can control a computer mouse using their thoughts. The patient's progress is reportedly good, and the startup is now aiming to maximize mouse button clicks. Neuralink, which received approval for human trial recruitment in September, aims to enable people to control a computer cursor or keyboard using their thoughts and has grand ambitions for treating conditions like obesity, autism, depression, and schizophrenia. However, the firm has faced scrutiny over its safety protocols and has been fined for violating transportation rules.
