Elon Musk's Neuralink shows first brain-chip patient playing online chess

Elon Musk's brain-chip startup Neuralink live-streamed on Wednesday its first patient implanted with a chip using his mind to play online chess.

Noland Arbaugh, a patient who was paralyzed below the shoulder after a diving accident, played chess on his laptop and moved the cursor using the Neuralink device.

The implant seeks to enable people to control a computer cursor or keyboard using only their thoughts.

Elaborating on his experience with the new technology, Arbaugh said that it is "not perfect" and they "have run into some issues."

It is still in the very early days post-implantation, and there is a lot of learning on the Neuralink side and the subject's side to maximize the amount of information for control that can be achieved.
