In a recent X Spaces conversation, Musk disclosed that the patient, who underwent the groundbreaking implant procedure in January, has shown remarkable progress. Musk stated, "Progress is good. Patient seems to have made a full recovery with no ill effects that we are aware of and is able to control the mouse, move the mouse around the screen just by thinking."
Musk further detailed Neuralink's objective of enhancing the patient's capabilities with the computer mouse, aiming to go beyond mere cursor control to include dragging content on screens. The company's initiative targets individuals with quadriplegia due to spinal cord injuries or ALS, with the goal of enabling them to operate external devices through brain signals.
