Neuralink’s First Human Patient Controls Computer Mouse with Mind

<p>A breakthrough in brain-computer interface technology has been achieved by Neuralink, a company founded by Elon Musk. The first human patient with a Neuralink chip in their brain can control a computer mouse with their mind. The chip was inserted in January, and the patient has shown no signs of complications or adverse effects. The chip is connected to a region of the brain that signals movement intention. The aim of Neuralink&rsquo;s technology is to enable people with severe injuries to use computers with their thoughts. The patient&rsquo;s identity has been kept confidential, but the company had said it was seeking candidates with quadriplegia caused by spinal cord damage or ALS for its trials.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/@iamshinonymous/neuralinks-first-human-patient-controls-computer-mouse-with-mind-6e660405000d"><strong>Website</strong></a></p>
