Elon Musk’s brain implant company, Neuralink, has disclosed the number of people who have received its chip implant so far. Information regarding the patients’ health status has also been provided.
There has been a significant development concerning the neurotechnology company Neuralink, founded by billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk. The U.S.-based Barrow Neurological Institute has announced how many individuals have been implanted with the Neuralink chip to date. This announcement reveals that Elon Musk and his team have been continuing their work quietly.
The Neuralink chip, which has been in development for a long time and was first implanted in a human last year, creates a brain-computer interface that helps people perform certain physical activities using the power of their thoughts. According to the announcement by the Barrow Neurological Institute, the chip, named N1, has been implanted in a total of seven patients so far. Moreover, the condition of these patients is quite good.
Here is the information provided about the patients who received the Neuralink chip:
Noland, Who Can Play Video Games
One of the patients named by the Barrow Neurological Institute is Noland. As the first human to receive the Neuralink chip, Noland is now able to play video games despite his physical disability.
Alex, Who Designs 3D Machine Parts
Another patient with a Neuralink chip is Alex. Having previously worked in a workshop manufacturing machine parts, Alex is now able to design 3D machine parts thanks to the N1 chip. He can now design parts on a computer.
Brad: The First ALS Patient to Receive a Neuralink Chip
A patient named Brad is very important for Neuralink. This is because Brad was diagnosed with ALS six years ago. In addition to being unable to move, he also lost his ability to speak. Thanks to Neuralink’s N1 chip, Brad can now communicate with his family again.
Mike: The First Neuralink Patient with a Full-Time Job
Like Brad, Mike lost his mobility after being diagnosed with ALS. Having worked as a land survey technician before his illness, Mike has made history as the first patient with a Neuralink implant to work full-time. Although he now works from home, Mike can comfortably support his family.
