Noland Arbaugh, a quadriplegic, is the first person to receive a Neuralink brain implant.

  • The brain-computer interface (BCI) translates brain signals into digital commands.

  • Arbaugh can now browse the Internet, send messages, and play video games using only his mind from his home in Yuma, Arizona.

  • The implant detects electrical signals in the brain.

  • Experts cite privacy concerns regarding access to brain activity.

Arbaugh hopes for future advancements enabling control of wheelchairs or humanoid robots.
