"Neuralink's First Patient Controls Computer Mouse with Thoughts, Raises Ethical Concerns"
Elon Musk announced that a patient with a Neuralink brain implant can now control a computer mouse through thought, with no reported ill effects. Neuralink, Musk's startup, aims to use neural signals to control external technologies and restore lost capabilities. The company implanted its device in a human for the first time in January and is currently recruiting patients for its first in-human clinical trial after receiving FDA approval.
