Elon Musk's Neuralink showcases its first patient, Noland Arbaugh, using a brain-chip to play online chess, marking a milestone in merging human brains with computers. Arbaugh, paralyzed below the shoulders, received the chip implant in January, enabling him to control a computer cursor and play games. Despite facing technical challenges, including issues with the technology's perfection, Neuralink's breakthrough offers hope for tackling neurological conditions. The FDA-approved device, about the size of a coin, reads neuron activity and transmits wireless signals. This advancement underscores the growing interest in brain-computer interfaces, aiming to revolutionize healthcare and empower individuals with disabilities.
