Elon Musk has finally pulled back the curtain on what Neuralink has been doing behind the scenes – showing off its first subject using its technology… and it’s incredible.
The Tesla boss – who also runs Neuralink – posted a link from his company that featured about 9 minutes of Neuralink video… and it’s a full testimonial from a guy named Noland Arbaugh – a 29-year-old quadriplegic who went under the knife because of this.
He says he had a freak diving accident about 8 years ago that left him paralyzed from the shoulders down. After hearing about what Neuralink could do, however, he signed up.
The clip goes on to show how exactly the technology works – and sure enough… you can see Noland using his mind to move a mouse on a laptop that’s placed in front of him… on which the guy is playing chess. It looks very perfect and he nailed it!
Noland is able to move chess pieces on the screen and even turn off music – all simply by thinking where he wants the mouse to go. He goes a little deeper into describing how exactly he does this… saying that he’s implementing something called imagined movement, trying to move away from attempting movement with a lot of brain power.
Like we said… he certainly seems to have a talent for it now – and even more surprising is how well he seems to be doing post-op, another thing he addresses in this video.

Noland is strongly supportive of Neuralink – acknowledging that there is still a lot of work to do to perfect it… but saying that the progress they have made so far is promising. He says the number of people this could help is staggering… and he’s happy to be patient #1.
These are very powerful visuals… and you have to imagine that more people will put their names forward as guinea pigs for this effort – especially seeing how well everything is going so far.
Welcome to the future!
