How is Neuralink helping quadriplegic patients control technology?
Neuralink has been implanted in three quadriplegic patients, enabling them to control their phones and computers directly with their thoughts, a capability Elon Musk calls 'telepathy.' This brain-computer interface allows users to operate digital devices without physical movement, and remarkably, they can do so even faster than individuals with working hands. The next phase of development aims to add a second Neuralink implant past the damaged neurons in patients with spinal cord injuries. This advancement would potentially restore mobility, allowing patients to walk again and regain full body movement, significantly transforming the lives of those with paralysis.
