New York CNN —Elon Musk’s brain implant startup Neuralink is accepting applications for a second human trial participant to test its device, the billionaire said on X Friday. Neuralink said that the threads connecting the chip to Arbaugh’s brain had retracted, causing performance issues, although the company said it made adjustments to improve its function. Still, Arbaugh says the implant — which allows him to control a computer cursor with his brain — has changed his life. This is the next step forward of helping people with paralysis.”Now, Neuralink is seeking more people like Arbaugh to test out its brain chip. About a month after the operation, Musk said Arbaugh could control a computer mouse with his brain.
