NEW DELHI: In a first, Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk on Thursday shared a video clip where a person was seen playing video games just by thinking, courtesy the Neuralink brain chip.
Paraplegic Noland Arbaugh, 29, was seen in a video shared to X using just his mind to play online chess.
'See that cursor on the screen? That's all me. It's all brainpower, ” he was quoted as saying in the video clip shared by Musk.
He also managed to move the computer mouse side to side across the online chess board.
“Livestream of @Neuralink demonstrating “Telepathy” – controlling a computer and playing video games just by thinking, ” the billionaire posted.
A follower commented: “Beautiful to watch this. You can see his joy in being able to control things again. This is when science does very good things!”
Last month, the X owner said that the first human implanted with a brain chip from his brain-computer interface company Neuralink seems to have fully recovered and is able to control a computer mouse using thoughts.
"Progress is good, and the patient seems to have made a full recovery, with neural effects that we are aware of. The patient is able to move a mouse around the screen by just thinking, " Musk had said in a Spaces event on X.
Musk said that the company's first product, called Telepathy, would bring control of a phone or computer just by thinking.
