According to Kuai Technology on April 1, Noland Arbaugh, the first brain-computer chip implant subject of Neuralink, a brain-computer interface company under Musk, posted a post saying that he had no side effects after implanting the brain-computer interface for a year.

Noland Arbaugh, 30, suffered a spinal cord injury in a diving accident nine years ago, causing paralysis below the neck.In January last year, Arbaugh became Neuralink's first subject and underwent brain-motor chip implant surgery.

Despite the good experience, Arbaugh's implants had 85% electrode displacement.Neuralink has improved the performance of the remaining electrodes through software upgrades to ensure the normal use of the equipment.

Arbaugh once showed that he used his mind to play chess and play electronic games.This technology reads brain signals through implanted linear electrodes and then converts them into Bluetooth commands to control external devices.

Musk revealed the latest developments at Neuralink in early January, which plans to perform another implantation surgery on about 20 to 30 patients by 2025.

In addition to paralysis problems, Neuralink is expected to treat various serious mental illnesses in the future.Musk believes that from the root of the mental illness, it is just a failure in the biological computer of the brain, and it is a repairable fault, just like repairing a circuit that has a short circuit.He expects that in the future, Neuralink is expected to help patients with severe mental illness live a normal life.
