Elon Musk's controversial brain-to-computer interface startup has revealed the identity of its first patient.
Neuralink, Elon Musk’s neuroscience startup, live-streamed an interview with its first patient on Wednesday. The man in question, a 29-year-old quadriplegic who identifies himself as Noland Arbaugh, said that he has been unable to move his arms or legs for nearly a decade. Using Neuralink’s brain implant, which was inserted in January, the man now seems to be able to play chess as well as the game Civilization by using his mind.
“I love playing chess and this is one of the things that ya’ll have enabled me to do,” said Arbaugh. The camera pans down to show a computer screen featuring a digital chess board, and a cursor moving across the board. Noland compared learning to use the cursor with his mind to “learning to use the Force” from Star Wars. Neuralink completed its first implantation of its brain chip in January.
