According to a post shared on April 2 on X, Neuralink hopes to find more participants for its study, which it calls the PRIME trial.
This trial focuses on a chip implanted in the brain and reads signals linked to movement. The aim is to turn those signals into commands that can control a computer or smartphone.
Noland Arbaugh, the first person to get the implant, said in a March 28 post on X that there were "no negative side effects, neither physically nor psychologically" since he got the device. He uses the brain chip for various activities and estimates that he relies on it for over 10 hours daily.
He also mentioned that the implant has helped him find work as a travelling keynote speaker. The device makes it easier for him to write and communicate online.
