You must have heard in mythological stories that work could be done just by thinking. Rishis and sages used to just imagine and reach that place. But now Elon Musk has done a similar miracle. His company has created such a person, whose just thinking can make a lot happen. Yes, just by thinking about it. Musk’s company fitted a chip in this person’s brain and he is seen playing online chess easily without the help of hands and legs.
Musk himself has shared its video on X. In the video, a person is moving the computer cursor with his mind and playing chess online. According to Reuters, the name of this 29 year old man is Noland Arbaugh. After an accident he was paralyzed below his shoulders. After this, in January this year, Neuralink chip was implanted in his brain. Till now the company had claimed that with the help of the chip they would be able to do everything easily.

The cursor appeared to be moving.
Now this person was seen moving the cursor using the Neuralink device. You can see it in the video shared by Musk. Arbaugh said in the video, I had stopped playing that game because of the accident, but now I am able to play it again. According to the company, this coin-sized device communicates directly between the human brain and the computer. If this experiment is successful then paralysis patients will be able to walk. Blind people can see. That’s why the company has also named this chip Link.
Approval given to install chip in 2023
Musk’s company was given approval to install the chip in September 2023. Many people were recruited and chips were implanted in the brain of about 50 people. Since then, this person is the first one whose result has come out. The company is investigating the advantages and disadvantages of installing the chip. Earlier it was used on animals, but some flaws were found. Now it has gone one step further. The world has great expectations from this. It is even said that cure can be found for many genetic diseases.
