Elon Musk says Neuralink's first patient can move a computer mouse 'by just thinking'

Elon Musk announced that Neuralink's first human patient with a brain-chip implant can control a computer mouse cursor using their mind. The patient has fully recovered since receiving the implant last month. Neuralink's goal is to give recipients the ability to move a mouse in various directions and perform tasks by just thinking. The implant, called Telepathy, could potentially allow people with limb loss to control their devices using their thoughts. Neuralink has gained FDA approval for human trials and is also working on a vision chip for the future.
