Noland Arbaugh, 29, became Neuralink's first patient, receiving a brain implant that enables him to control devices despite being paralyzed after a tragic swimming accident.
Arbaugh expressed some initial worry about being the first to test a new technology, but he wanted to take on the risk for the benefit of others.
There are potential risks associated with the brain implant, such as the possibility of cybercriminals hacking the device and taking control of Arbaugh's connected computer.
Arbaugh's tragic accident in 2016, which left him paralyzed, prompted his journey to explore groundbreaking brain-computer interface technology.
