Elon Musk’s Neuralink has made headlines by revealing its first-ever human trial patient. Here’s everything you need to know.
Noland Arbaugh, 29, is the first person to receive a Neuralink brain chip implant. He was paralyzed from the shoulders down.
Noland became paralyzed after a diving accident in 2016. Now, with Neuralink, he can control a computer with his thoughts!
The Neuralink chip reads brain signals and translates them into commands, allowing users to move cursors or type using only thoughts.
In a live demo, Noland amazed the world by playing chess on a computer using only his brainwaves. A milestone moment in tech!
Musk claims Neuralink aims to help those with disabilities and eventually enable brain-to-brain communication.
Though exciting, Neuralink faces ethical, medical, and regulatory hurdles before it can go mainstream. Safety is still a key concern.
