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 is reportedly able to move a mouse around the screen by just thinking, and Neuralink is now aiming to maximize mouse button clicks from the patient.
