First Person Implanted with Neuralink Brain Chip by Elon Musk Makes Debut Post on X Platform
The first person implanted with a brain-chip by Neuralink, a company under Musk’s umbrella, made his debut post on X platform (formerly known as Twitter), using thoughts to operate the interface.
In a witty post, he humorously wrote: “Twitter banned me for being a bot, X and Elon Musk restored me because I am.”
Musk retweeted this post, adding: “First post sent by mind control using Neuralink’s brain-machine interface!”
The patient, named Noland Arbaugh, is 29 years old and became paralyzed from the neck down due to a spinal cord injury in a diving accident eight years ago. In January this year, Arbaugh became the first participant in Neuralink’s trial, undergoing a surgery to implant the brain-chip.
Earlier this week, Neuralink released a video showing Arbaugh playing chess and video games using his thoughts to operate the computer interface.
