Elon Musk revealed during a Spaces event on the social media platform X that Neuralink’s first human subject “appears to have fully recovered and can move a cursor on a computer screen using only his thoughts.” Neuralink had previously stated that the study involves surgically implanting a brain-computer interface into the brain region responsible for controlling movement intentions, with the initial goal of enabling people to control a computer mouse or keyboard with their thoughts.
