New York CNN —The first test subject for Neuralink, Elon Musk’s brain chip implant startup, has developed a problem just a few weeks after it was inserted.
But the company said it was able to make the implant more sensitive to increase its performance even further.
About a month after the operation, Musk said Arbaugh could control a computer mouse with his brain after having the chip implanted.
Like existing brain-machine interfaces, the company’s implant would collect electrical signals sent out by the brain and interpret them as actions.
Before Neuralink’s brain implants hit the broader market, they’ll need broader regulatory approval.
