Neuralink's first human patient shares journey to renewed self-independence
""a blur of meaningless time.""
""It feels like I've been given a second shot,""
""I always had potential, now I have a way to express it.""
Noland Arbaugh, paralyzed from the shoulders down after a 2016 swimming accident, underwent a two-hour robotic surgery to implant Neuralink's Telepathy device into his motor cortex. The implant allows him to control devices, browse the web, play video games like Mario Kart, operate his smart home, and study neuroscience using only his mind, though it requires periodic charging. He spends up to ten hours daily using the chip, returned to school, and pursues public speaking to fund advocacy. He has faced media scrutiny, online harassment, and a dangerous SWAT incident triggered by a hoax call. Neuralink aims to connect human thought with technology to restore communication and mobility.
