Neuralink's Alex Plays Counter-Strike 2 Using Brain Implant
Aug 22, 2024, 01:36 AM
Neuralink, the brain-computer interface company founded by Elon Musk, has successfully implanted its device in a second human participant named Alex as part of its PRIME Study. The surgery was conducted at the Barrow Neurological Institute and went smoothly, with Alex being discharged the following day. Post-surgery, Alex has demonstrated the ability to control digital devices using his thoughts, including playing the video game Counter-Strike 2 and using the CAD software Fusion 360 to design 3D objects. He also broke the previous BCI Webgrid record on his first day. This development marks significant progress for Neuralink, which aims to enable paralyzed individuals to interact with digital devices through thought alone. The company reported no thread retraction issues, a problem that affected the first implant trial. Elon Musk has expressed optimism about the technology's future, predicting widespread adoption in the coming years.
