The first human recipient of a Neuralink brain implant has shared new details on his recovery and experience of living with the experimental assistive tech.
You can literally go on youtube right now and watch people play racing games and other things with those brainwave readers or whatever they are called.
I mean, the guys quadraplegic. They have this computer controller you can control with your mouth, but I’m sure just thinking about moving thr mouse and the mouse moves is far easier.
If you watch the interview, he says he can’t do that for extended time because he can’t sit in the chair for that long without getting sore spots, and he has body spasms which put him out of place which would require someone else to put him back into a playable spot.
He can do this with neuralink in his bed, despite the spasms that change his position.
Edit: that one might be different though, the tongue one he has is part of his chair
I’m pretty sure this could be done non-invasively like 5 years ago if not 10

I can play Civ with my fingers right now, no brain-implant required.Wild, I know.Edit: Ignore me, I’m talking out of my ass.
Uhh, you know that the guy in the article is quadriplegic, right? He literally can’t use his fingers.
I was talking out of my ass, ignore me.
A very useful skill for a quadriplegic.
Frees up the tounge for mouse control.
Skill issue /s
Tongue controllers have existed for a very long time.
And doesn’t require drilling into your skull to install.
