Neuralink's First Patient Gains Unprecedented Gaming Abilities

Noland Arbaugh, paralyzed from a diving accident, uses brain implant to achieve remarkable control in video games.

Arbaugh can control a computer cursor with his thoughts, enabling him to play games like Mario Kart and Civilization VI.
The implant's precision allows for near-instantaneous movement, sometimes even before Arbaugh consciously thinks to move.
He describes the experience as having an 'aimbot' in his head, a term used for gaming hacks that automatically target opponents.
Despite the advancements, some games like Call of Duty remain out of reach, but Arbaugh is optimistic about future compatibility.
The technology could lead to specialized gaming leagues and has potential applications for improving the quality of life for paralyzed individuals.
