The first patient had problems with the chip. According to The Wall Street Journal, Elon Musk’s company promised to fix them. The publication’s sources said Neuralink received more than a thousand applications from those who wanted to participate in the experiment.

Let us remind you that Neuralink implanted its first chip into humans at the beginning of 2024. The patient could control the computer mouse cursor and even play chess with the power of his mind. However, after a while, problems arose in the operation of the chip: The implant began to move away from the brain tissue.

Earlier, the first patient, 29-year-old Nolan Arbaugh, admitted that being able to control chess using the power of thought was important to him. The truth is that he suffered a serious injury when he was eight years old, after which he lost feeling in his entire body below his shoulders. Read about it here.
