Elon Musk makes it possible! The American billionaire brings the joy of gaming back to someone who is paralyzed.
It is a medical miracle that the polarizing American centipede and visionary Elon Musk (50) can claim: The paralyzed Noland Arbaugh (29) can control a computer with his thoughts thanks to a brain chip from Musk.
A diving accident changed his life
The 29-year-old is the first person in the world to have the Neuralink brain chip implanted. A diving accident eight years ago changed the American’s life forever. Now Musk published a video of the chess series on his platform X, formerly Twitter.
In the moving footage, Arbaugh can be seen saying, “Do you see the cursor on the screen? It’s all on me, it’s all brain power.” And further: “I’m so lucky to be a part of it! Every day it feels like we are learning new things.” Musk said on his platform: “Progress is good and the patient appears to have made a full recovery, with the neural effects we know.”
No general anesthesia and went home the same day
The 50-year-old also revealed that inserting the chip took just half an hour – without general anesthesia. The patient was able to go home the same day. Neurologists from around the world have taken note of this sensation and continue to research this once-in-a-century event.
