Brain chip patient plays online chess with his thoughts
Published 2024-03-21
Neuralink, founded by Musk in 2016, has been working on an implant that will connect mind and machine.
On Wednesday the company released a video featuring Noland Arbaugh, 29, who lost movement in his arms and legs in a diving accident eight years ago. Arbaugh was able to move a cursor across a laptop screen using just his mind. He played chess and turned off the computer’s music.
“Basically it was like using the force on the cursor,” Arbaugh said, apparently referencing Star Wars. “It’s pretty cool, huh?”

If he can move a cursor with a thought, it is possible to make an exo carcass and he will move his body parts by thinking. Just wow

Rare Elon W. Happy for this dude. Sure there could be some fuckups but whatever. Some brave souls had to test this at some point.

Absolutely amazing!! So many people talk poorly about Musk but this is proof that his funding is invaluable to society. To see this young man get some of his abilities back after a tragic accident is beautiful. Elon takes financial risks to better human life and our ecosystem. Let him continue building his wealth and we will all benefit from it!

I have a prediction. The next big event we will see is full virtual reality immersion. One of these patients are going to be linked to a VR chat and be able to move completely (arms, hands, legs) with their minds. We live in a cyberpunk world!
