NEURALINK’S TELEPHATY LIVE

In a revolutionary nine-minute livestream, Elon Musk’s startup ‘Neuralink’ showcased its first patient with a chip using his mind to play chess. Wow!

Noland Arbaugh, the 29-year-old man who was paralyzed below the shoulder after a tragic accident, was able to move the cursor using the Neuralink’s pioneering device. This implant in Arbaugh’s brain, seeks to enable the patient to control a computer keyboard only by using their thoughts.

The ‘Neuralink’ implant was placed into Arbaugh in January, and he was able to go home the day after surgery with no cognitive impairments. Ecstatic about being able to use his thoughts to manipulate the computer, Arbaugh made a “Star Wars” reference: ‘it’s like using the force!’ and added, ‘it’s all being done with my brain. If y’all can see the cursor moving around the screen, that’s all me. It’s pretty cool, huh?’

Discussing it on X, Arbaugh did mention some imperfections: ‘I don't want people to think that this is the end of the journey; there's still a lot of work to be done, but it has already changed my life’.

A new day for humanity has dawned via Neuralink. Launched back in 2016, the company has been working on a revolutionary chip implant that could allow people to control computers with their brains. We can all agree with Musk who tweeted 'that ‘this technology will be a game changer for human species’, anouncing the company’s next big project, “Blindsight” that could potentially enable vision in blind patients.

This all comes as a result of several years of R&D by neuroscientists at Neuralink and contraversil experiments conducted on animals. The monkeys are essential to Neuralink's experimental work, which faced media criticism after regulators and animal rights groups raised concerns over its treatment, which Musk comented on below in his latest tweet.
