Noland Arbaugh, the first person implanted with Elon Musk’s Neuralink brain-computer interface, detailed significant life changes 18 months after receiving the device. Implanted at Barrow Neurological Institute, the chip interfaces with over 1,000 brain electrodes enabling control of computers and devices via thought commands. Demonstrating record cursor control precision from day one, Arbaugh now efficiently interacts with digital environments, including gaming and device control, showcasing advanced capabilities relative to existing brain-computer interface technologies under development globally.
