Brain implant allows paralyzed man to play Mario with his mind

Neuralink, a company founded and owned by Elon Musk, held an event with the participation of 29-year-old quadriplegic Noland Arbaugh, who received its brain implant. During the conversation, Arbo explained how he lives with a chip implanted in his brain, and he published a video of this conversation on his account on the X network.

According to Noland Arbaugh, the implant allowed him to feel like a normal person, and not paralyzed. The Neuralink chip gives him the ability to perform different tasks on the computer, and gradually he does it faster and more efficiently. Among other things, Noland can play some computer games with the power of his mind, including Civilization VI. He said that he was gradually getting better at playing strategy.

Noland noted that he likes to progress in games, since constantly beating his father at chess is no longer as interesting. Another young man competes with his father in Mario Kart. During the conversation, he thanked the developers at Neuralink, who helped him change his life, and also expressed confidence that the Neuralink brain implant will help more people in the future.

Recall that Elon Musk founded the company Neuralink in 2016. In January of this year, the billionaire announced a successful operation to implant a human implant. Not long ago, a video appeared on the Internet demonstrating how Noland Arbo plays virtual chess with the power of his thoughts. Later, social network X also published a post created by Noland himself.
