As a passionate follower of technological advancements and a firm believer in the power of human resilience, I find Elon Musk‘s work with Neuralink nothing short of inspiring. The prospect of a device that could empower those paralyzed due to spinal cord injuries to regain control over their lives is not just a scientific breakthrough, but a testament to the indomitable human spirit.
Elon Musk revealed that his company, Neuralink, has inserted one of their brain-interface devices into a second user. This device aims to empower people with spinal cord injuries by enabling them to operate digital gadgets solely using their mental capabilities.
On Lex Fridman’s podcast, Elon Musk shared that a surgical procedure had been performed on him. While he didn’t specify the exact date of the operation, he referred to the recipient as a man who became paralyzed due to a diving accident.
He remarked, “Things are looking promising so far, I wouldn’t dare count my chickens before they hatch, but the second implant appears to be functioning exceptionally.” He added, “There’s a strong signal coming through and many active electrodes. It seems to be working smoothly.”
In January, Noland Arbaugh, Neuralink’s first patient and podcast guest, shared his experience with the implant that now allows him to control a computer cursor merely by thinking about it, thereby decreasing his dependence on caretakers. This surgery was performed after Neuralink received FDA approval for clinical trials.
Elon Musk announced that Neuralink intends to place the chip in eight additional patients this year, continuing with their ongoing trials.
