‘Elon Musk planted a Neuralink chip in my brain and now I can control a computer with my mind’
The IndependentNoland Arbaugh was face down, floating on the surface of the water when he realised he could no longer move. open image in gallery Noland Arbaugh: The 30-year-old received a brain-computer interface device, a new technology that could have far-reaching impacts It’s a telling anecdote from Arbaugh, who is gentle, generous and unassuming as he chats over a video call from his home in Arizona – a bonafide “celebrity cyborg”. I would never put my family through that.” Arbaugh was also aware that this would be the first ever version of Neuralink – “the worst version of this that any human will ever get” – but wanted to set the path for others to come and believes that being the first recipient of this device was his life’s purpose for him. To use the stick for a day, Arbaugh risked pressure sores, spasms that could cause him to fall.” First patient explains what it's like to have Elon Musk's Neuralink chip planted in brain After recovering from the implant operation, Arbaugh began “training” the neurons to react to his intentions, wondering whether his practice would pay off. In the coming months, he hopes that cursor control will extend to typing – currently he’s learning to use a “little virtual keyboard” that he can dictate to, an add-on “10 times as good” as using Siri, which would misunderstand his dictation 70-80 per cent of the time.
