Elon Musk, the founder of Neuralink, announced that the first human patient who received the company's brain chip is now able to move a computer mouse just by thinking. This can be considered an important development in the field of brain-computer interface to help people with disabilities.
“The progress is good and the patient seems to have fully recovered and has no side effects,” Musk said on social platform X, or the former Twitter. The patient is able to move the mouse on the screen by just thinking.” He added that Nuralink is now trying to get the maximum number of mouse button clicks from this patient.
The company successfully implanted a chip in the brain of the first patient last month after receiving approval for human testing in September. In this experiment, a computer-brain interface was surgically placed in the part of the brain that controls human movement.
However, Neuralink did not provide further details about the patient or how the chip was implanted. The company has also faced demands for inspections of safety protocols and fines for violating hazardous materials transport laws.
Elon Musk has big dreams for Neuralink and believes the technology could help implant various chips to treat diseases such as obesity, autism, depression and schizophrenia. However, to fully evaluate this technology, we will have to wait for more details to be released by Neuralink.
How do you predict the future of this new technology? Can implanting a chip in the brain grow and expand rapidly?
