Neuralink Seeks Second Human Participant for Brain-Computer Interface Trial

Following initial success and challenges with the first implant, Neuralink is expanding its clinical trial to further test its brain-computer interface technology.

  • Neuralink plans to implant two more participants with its brain-computer interface in the coming months.
  • The first participant, Noland Arbaugh, reports significant improvements in computer control using only his thoughts.
  • Arbaugh's implant faced initial technical issues, which the company has since addressed.
  • Neuralink's trials aim to help individuals with paralysis control digital devices through thought alone.
  • The company is recruiting volunteers with specific conditions, including quadriplegia and ALS, for its ongoing study.
