According to Reuters, Elon Musk, the founder of Neuralink, said late Monday that the first person who had a brain chip implanted by the company seems to have fully healed and can now control a computer mouse with their thoughts.
“Things are going well, and the patient seems to be fully recovered with no harm that we know of.” “Patient can think his way around the screen and move a mouse,” Musk said at a Spaces event on the social media site X.
Musk said Nyarlak was now trying to get the patient to click the mouse button as many times as possible.
Reuters asked Neuralink for more information, but they didn’t respond right away.
After getting permission to start recruiting people for a human study in September, the company successfully put a chip in its first human patient last month.
Neuralink said that a robot is used to surgically implant a brain-computer interface in a part of the brain that controls the desire to move. The main goal of the study is to let people use their thoughts to control a computer mouse or keyboard.
Musk has big plans for Neuralink. He says it will make it easier to quickly implant its chip devices into the brain to treat diseases like obesity, autism, depression, and schizophrenia.
Neuralink, which was worth about $5 billion last year, has been asked many times to explain its safety procedures. Last month, Reuters reported that the company was fined for breaking rules set by the U.S. Department of Transportation about moving dangerous goods.

It was changed so that the comment in paragraph 2 says “no ill effects” instead of “neural effects.”
