The first human patient implanted with a brain-chip from Neuralink appears to have fully recovered and is able to control a computer mouse using their thoughts, the startup’s founder Elon Musk said late on Monday.<\/p>\n

“Progress is good, and the patient seems to have made a full recovery, with no ill effects that we are aware of. Patient is able to move a mouse around the screen by just thinking,” Musk said in a Spaces event on social media platform X.<\/p>\n

Musk said Neuralink was now trying to get as many mouse button clicks as possible from the patient.<\/p>\n

Neuralink did not immediately reply to Reuters’ request for further details.<\/p>\n

The firm successfully\u00a0implanted<\/a>\u00a0a chip on its first human patient last month, after receiving approval for human trial recruitment in September.<\/p>\n

The study uses a robot to surgically place a brain-computer interface implant in a region of the brain that controls the intention to move, Neuralink has said, adding that the initial goal is to enable people to control a computer cursor or keyboard using their thoughts.<\/p>\n

Musk has grand ambitions for Neuralink, saying it would facilitate speedy surgical insertions of its chip devices to treat conditions like obesity, autism, depression, and schizophrenia.<\/p>\n

Neuralink, which was valued at about $5 billion last year, has faced repeated calls for scrutiny regarding its safety protocols. Reuters\u00a0reported<\/a>\u00a0last month that the firm was fined for violating US\u00a0Department of Transportation rules regarding the movement of hazardous materials.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
