Musk: Neuralink enables human to control mouse with thoughts
Breaking News: First Human Implanted with Neuralink Brain-Chip Makes Remarkable Recovery
(Reuters) – In a groundbreaking development, the founder of Neuralink, Elon Musk, announced on Monday that the first human patient implanted with a brain-chip from the startup has fully recovered and is now able to control a computer mouse using their thoughts.
During a Spaces event on the social media platform X, Musk expressed his excitement about the progress made by the patient, stating, “Progress is good, and the patient seems to have made a full recovery, with no ill effects that we are aware of. The patient is able to move a mouse around the screen by just thinking.”
Musk further revealed that Neuralink is now focused on maximizing the patient’s ability to click the mouse button using their thoughts.
Neuralink has not yet responded to Reuters’ request for additional details.
The successful implantation of the chip on the first human patient took place last month, following the approval for human trial recruitment in September.
The study involves the use of a robot to surgically place a brain-computer interface implant in a specific region of the brain responsible for controlling movement intentions. Neuralink aims to enable individuals to control a computer cursor or keyboard solely through their thoughts.
Musk envisions Neuralink as a revolutionary solution for various conditions, including obesity, autism, depression, and schizophrenia, by facilitating swift surgical insertions of its chip devices.
Despite its promising advancements, Neuralink, which was valued at approximately $5 billion last year, has faced scrutiny regarding its safety protocols. Reuters reported last month that the firm was fined for violating U.S. Department of Transportation rules related to the transportation of hazardous materials.
