Noland Arbaugh, the first recipient of Neuralink’s brain-computer interface (BCI), has provided insights into the transformative impact of the technology. The implant, embedded in his skull, allows him to navigate a computer cursor, text, browse the internet, and play video games through brain signals. Despite a temporary setback with thread retraction, Arbaugh remains optimistic about the potential of BCI to improve the lives of individuals with disabilities or neurodegenerative diseases.
