Three years after Neuralink showed footage of a monkey playing Pong using signals delivered via a brain implant, the Elon Musk-backed company has shared another video, this time of a human using the same technology to play chess on a computer.Recommended Videos https://t.co/OMIeGGjYtG Related It features 29-year-old quadriplegic Noland Arbaugh, who recently became the first human patient to have Neuralink’s device implanted in his brain.
Arbaugh, who became paralyzed from the neck down following a diving accident nearly a decade ago, added: “I don’t want people to think that this is the end of the journey. There’s a lot of work to be done, but it has already changed my life.” The company said previously that a robot would be deployed to place the implant’s “ultra-fine and flexible threads in a region of the brain that controls movement intention,” and that once in place, the implant is “cosmetically invisible and is intended to record and transmit brain signals wirelessly to an app that decodes movement intention.”
