Elon Musk\u2019s brain science startup, Neuralink, offered a peek Wednesday into how a quadriplegic person is using its brain implant to control a computer.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Neuralink released a nine-minute video in which its first human patient, who is paralyzed below his shoulders, appears to move a cursor across a laptop screen with nothing but his thoughts. The video shows him playing chess and turning off the laptop\u2019s music. <\/p>\n
The patient, who had not been previously identified, said in Wednesday\u2019s video that his name was Noland Arbaugh. He said that he\u2019s 29 years old and that he lost all movement and sensation in his arms and legs after a diving accident about eight years ago.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Arbaugh said he was a satisfied patient so far after having previously relied on a mouth stick for certain tasks. No external devices or wires were visible in the video.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s all being done with my brain. If y\u2019all can see the cursor moving around the screen, that\u2019s all me. It\u2019s pretty cool, huh?\u201d he said, with a Neuralink employee by his side.\u00a0<\/p>\n
