"I didn't have anything to wake up for in the morning, and this has changed that for me," Arbaugh told Good Morning America in an interview that aired on Friday. "I was just very happy that I would be a part of something that I believe is so monumental. This is the next step forward of helping people with paralysis."
The current trial participants will be part of what Neuralink is calling its PRIME Study, short for Precise Robotically Implanted Brain-Computer Interface. The intent is to study the safety of its implant and surgical robot and to test the functionality of its device, the company said in a 2023 blog post.
About a month after the operation, Musk said Arbaugh could control a computer mouse with his brain. Neuralink later posted a video showing Arbaugh using only his brain to play chess on a computer.
