Elon Musk says Neuralink brain chip patient can move a computer mouse 'by thinking'

Elon Musk announced that a patient implanted with Neuralink's brain chip can control a computer mouse through thought alone, demonstrating a significant advancement in brain-computer interface technology. This breakthrough holds promise for individuals with disabilities and could revolutionize how we interact with technology, opening new avenues for human-computer interaction and healthcare.

‍The billionaire's neurotech firm implanted its device into its first human patient in January.

Elon Musk said his Neuralink company's first patient can now move a computer mouse cursor with their mind.

Last month, the Tesla, social media platform X and SpaceX boss, said the patient was recovering well after a chip was implanted into their brain.

"Progress is good, and the patient seems to have made a full recovery, with neural effects that we are aware of. Patient is able to move a mouse around the screen by just thinking," Musk said on X Spaces on Monday, according to Reuters.
