Aug 21, 2024, 10:55 PM
Neuralink has successfully implanted its brain chip into a second human participant, Alex, as part of its PRIME Study. The surgery was conducted at the Barrow Neurological Institute, and Alex was discharged the following day with a smooth recovery. The implant allows Alex to control digital devices using his thoughts, enabling him to play video games like Counter-Strike 2 and use computer-aided design (CAD) software, including Fusion 360. Neuralink has reported no issues with thread retraction, a problem that affected the first patient. Alex expressed his satisfaction with the technology, noting its impressive functionality. Remarkably, Alex broke the previous BCI Webgrid record on his first day.
