'Demonstrating telepathy': Neuralink's first brain chip patient plays chess with his mind

Elon Musk's brain chip startup, Neuralink, live-streamed a patient playing online chess using their chip implant to control the mouse. Neuralink is testing its brain implant technology to help people with paralysis control external devices with their thoughts. The patient, Noland Arbaugh, was paralyzed below the shoulder after a diving accident.

While acknowledging some challenges, Arbaugh emphasized the undeniable benefits of the technology. Neuralink's goal is to ultimately enable telepathic communication and control of devices through thoughts.
