Neuralink is already accepting applications for another patient to receive its brain chip implant, as reports of bugs surface in its first trial.
Elon Musk ’s Neuralink is now accepting applications for a second patient to receive its brain-computer interface, just five months after Noland Arbaugh became the first human to have the startup’s technology surgically implanted. The second patient will receive the same fame and life-changing technology Arbaugh has received, presumably while dealing with the reported bugs of Musk’s new technology.
Bloomberg reports the issue stemmed from the electrode-laced threads in Arbaugh’s brain shifting around more than Neuralink witnessed in animal trials. The startup’s software engineers tweaked their algorithms that record data from Arbuagh’s neurons. Now, the patient is back to setting records for usage and ability with the brain-computer interface, which he reportedly uses for 1o to 12 hours a day.
