Neuralink's first human patient with a brain chip is able to control a computer mouse using thoughts, founder Elon Musk says.
Patient recovers with no ill effects
"Progress is good and the patient seems to have made a full recovery, with no ill effects that we are aware of," Musk said in a space event on X. "Patient is able to move a mouse around the screen by just thinking", he added. Last month, Neuralink's implant was given to the first human patient and initial results showed promising neuron spike detection.
Aim to restore capabilities in patients
* Neuralink's implant is designed to help humans use their neural signals to control external technologies and its long term vision is to restore lost capabilities such as vision, motor function and speech.
* Neuralink uses a robot to surgically place a brain-computer interface implant in a region of the brain that controls the intention to move.
* $5 billion was the valuation of neuralink in Jun 2023!
My take
Galloping technology needs to be harnessed appropriately.
Tailpiece.
Got up at a half past 3, the chores and was ready by a 20' to 6. Carried out the Wednesday morning 'aarathi'.
Kannan was our 'saarathi' and we reached Mallan's Dental Clinic by a half past 9. After our initial interaction, he'd taken about an hour and a half to try out Lekha's new furniture for the upper palate and send it back to the lab for corrections before fixing it permanently!
Lunch on return and after a few purchases at Guruvayur, we reached The Quarterdeck by teatime.
Today was the beginning of the temple's annual celebrations.
