Elon Musk's brain-computer interface company, Neuralink, has implanted into a first human patient. AdvertisementElon Musk announced his brain interface company, Neuralink , implanted its first human brain chip last week. Courtesy of Blackrock NeurotechToday, most people who have a BCI implanted in their head have a Blackrock device. For now, all implanted BCIs are a way for people with severe forms of paralysis to regain independence, using their thoughts to control devices and access the internet. The neurodegenerative condition rendered key muscles in her face limp, but a BCI device is helping her communicate again.

A paralyzed man has regained the ability to walk using spinal cord stimulation he controls with his mind. He emerged alive, but unable to use his legs due to a spinal cord injury. "He's able to pause, he's able to traverse more complex terrain, he's able to climb stairs." Two have spinal cord injuries, and two will be hoping to "move their hands and arms again," he said. Other BCI companies, including Elon Musk's Neuralink, have really only used BCI technology to control things, like keyboards, or computer mice.
