Overview
- Elon Musk said Arbaugh might be the first to receive an upgrade or dual Neuralink implant, predicting recipients could outperform humans in fast‑reaction video games.
- In a 21‑month update, Arbaugh said his direct testing role has tapered as more participants enter Neuralink’s human trials.
- He continues to use the implant for tasks such as typing and controlling devices, and he is pursuing neuroscience studies with strong grades.
- Arbaugh reported a recent pressure sore that briefly kept him bedridden but said he remains optimistic.
- Neuralink said in September that 12 people worldwide had used its implant, with the group logging more than 15,000 hours of activity.
