"Neuralink's First Human Patient Showcases Gaming Abilities with Brain Implant"

The first human recipient of a Neuralink brain implant, Noland Arbaugh, has shared his experience using the experimental technology, which has allowed him to play video games, learn new languages, and read without cognitive impairments. The implant, which was inserted into his brain, has given him greater autonomy and freedom, enabling him to control a computer cursor with his thoughts and play games like Civilization 6 and Mario Kart 8. Neuralink, founded by Elon Musk, aims to use the implants to restore mobility lost to paralysis and help blind patients see with the aid of cameras. However, the company has faced controversy over its treatment of animals in pre-human trials, with reports of avoidable mistakes causing needless death and suffering.
