Noland Arbaugh is the first human to receive Neuralink’s brain implant. He recently took to the social media platform X to show off the capabilities of the device by controlling a computer with nothing but his brain during a livestream.
It sounds like Arbaugh, a 29-year-old man who was paralyzed from the shoulders down in a car crash eight years ago, uses the Neuralink brain implant for more than just moving a mouse cursor. During the stream, he talked about using the connection to play online chess matches and the popular strategy game Civilization.
