Elon Musk insists paralyzed people will one day 'walk again and use their arms normally' - after the first Neuralink patient plays chess via telepathy

Daily Mail  

Elon Musk's technological predictions may sometimes seem ripped straight from the pages of science fiction. And now the billionaire has made one of his most stunning claims yet, as he says his Neuralink brain chips will one day let paralyzed people walk again. Elon Musk said on X, formerly Twitter, that his Neuralink brain chip could be used in the future to help paralyzed patients regain control of their limbs and even walk again The Neuralink chip works by inserting very fine wires into parts of the brain to measure its activity. The disabled man, who suffered a freak diving accident eight years ago that left him paralyzed from the shoulders down, successfully played chess online using only his mind Musk shared the livestream of paralyzed man Noland Arbaugh, 29, using the Neuralink chip to play chess using 'telepathy' The Neuralink chip is quite small compared to previous brain-computer-interface devices but still must be implanted surgically Musk had previously announced that the first human trials had shown 'promising neuron spike detection.' In the operation, a 'sewing robot' removes a small chunk of the skull, connects the thread-like electrodes to certain areas of the brain, stitches up the hole and the only visible remains is a scar left behind from the incision Currently, the Neuralink chip functions as a 'brain-computer-interface', meaning it allows people to control a computer using their brain activity.
