The first patient with a chip in his brain can move a computer mouse

The company Neuralink, Elon Musk's technological venture in the field of healthcare, has recently achieved what was considered completely impossible until recently. Its experts are namelyč recently implanted a special brain implant or chip in a person. It should have three roles in the future. Two will be aimed at restoring sight, even to those who were blind at birth, and the third assignment will focus on the cerebral cortex, which will restore full functionality to people with a damaged spine or various spinal diseases.

The first goal was recently achieved. A chip implanted in the brain of a completely paralyzed patient enabled him to use a computer mouse. The patient did this with the help of his thoughts. Credit for this goes to a special čip labeled Telepathy. This one was indeedč specially prepared for people with motor limitations or without limbs.

This is not a completely new technology. The researchers intendč For decades, they have been researching devices that can decode brain signals for practical purposes, such as allowing a person to type words or play video games using only their brain. This gives completely new possibilities to people with congenital or acquired physical limitations.

Elon Musk launched Neuralink several years ago. than five years with the goal of developing technologies that can improve the connection between people and computers by implanting chips in people's brains. A while ago, the company only tested its products on animals. Now it's time to test it on people. How soon, however, it could enter our everyday lives. Most however, people with limited use of their limbs will benefit from these chips.
