Originally Published 1 year ago — by Gizmodo

Neuralink, Elon Musk's neuroscience startup, live-streamed an interview with its first patient, a 29-year-old quadriplegic who has been unable to move his arms or legs for nearly a decade. Using Neuralink's brain implant, the man is now able to play chess and the game Civilization using his mind. The company completed its first implantation of the brain chip in January, aiming to trial the safety and effectiveness of the implant and the medical procedure that installs it. However, Neuralink has faced criticism in the past for its experiments on animals.

Originally Published 1 year ago — by NBC News

Neuralink, Elon Musk's brain science startup, released a video showing a paralyzed individual using its brain implant to control a computer, playing chess and turning off music with his thoughts. The patient, Noland Arbaugh, expressed satisfaction with the device, which is implanted without visible external devices or wires. The video marks a significant development in brain-computer interface technology, with Neuralink joining other companies in the field. Despite heavy scrutiny and limited public information, Neuralink received FDA approval for its first in-human clinical study and continues to make strides in the field.
