Neuralink lets paralyzed man play Counter-Strike with his mind; video shows Elon Musk’s brain chip in action

Elon Musk and Neuralink Corporation have been working for years on technology that helps treat neurological diseases, as well as restore motor and sensory abilities in people affected by an illness or accident.

Their main project is the chip Neuralinkan implantable device that records neural activity to capture and transmit brain signals to external devices. Nolan Arbaugh, the first patient of this initiative, had great results and was even able to play video games like Mario Kart with your mind.

Neuralink Corporation Alex recently took another important step in his project, as he has already had his second patient and has also had a very favorable evolution.

Alex underwent the Neuralink implant in July of this year. Since then, he has made significant progress and can now seamlessly control various video games and computer software, all with the capabilities of the Neuralink brain chip. Elon Musk.

According to the details, it took the man less than 5 minutes to start controlling a computer cursor with his mind. He gradually started performing other tasks until he was ready to run and play a video game. His choice was Counter-Strikethe popular title of Valve.

After his accident and before receiving Neuralink, Alex continued to enjoy video games. This was done through a special controller called Quadstick, which is operated with the mouth using pressure and motion sensors. Being a fan of FPS, he was very limited, as it was difficult to manipulate the camera and the action of the characters, which requires 2 joysticks.

Nowadays things are different with Neuralink, as you can now perfectly control the movements with your mind. This way, you have a more fun and intuitive experience when playing.

“Running is so much fun because I can look back and forth and I don’t need to move the Quadstick back and forth… I can think about where to look and the Quadstick goes where I want it to. It’s crazy,” the patient said. Below you can see a video showing the player moving around in a match:
