Neuralink's Second Patient Uses Brain Implant for Gaming and Design

Elon Musk's startup achieves significant progress with its brain-computer interface, allowing a paralyzed patient to control digital devices through thought alone.

  • The second patient, Alex, can play Counter-Strike 2 and use CAD software with the Neuralink implant.
  • Neuralink addressed previous issues of thread retraction seen in the first patient, Noland Arbaugh.
  • Alex's recovery has been smooth, and he has surpassed previous assistive technologies in speed and accuracy.
  • The implant aims to enhance autonomy for people with spinal cord injuries, with future plans for broader applications.
  • Elon Musk envisions millions of people using Neuralink implants within the next decade.
