British Army veteran Jon L. Noble has shared a heartwarming update on his first 100 days with a Neuralink brain computer interface (BCI) implant. Noble variously describes the journey from day 0 to the present as “science fiction… magic… brilliant… addictive… overwhelming and incredibly motivating.” Along the way, he’s moved from Mac newbie to power user. As for gaming, “I’m now raiding, and exploring Azeroth hands-free at full speed — no mouse, no keyboard, just intention,” enthuses the World of Warcraft fan, also known as P-18 (patient number 18).
For some background to Noble’s situation, the Financial Express reports that the ex-paratrooper was paralyzed from the shoulders down after a driving accident in 2016. He volunteered for Neuralink clinical trials and got the Neuralink N1 implant in London in December last year.
