A Neuralink Patient with ALS Is Using His Brain Implant to Control a Camera and Look Around Again

A Neuralink patient with ALS is using his brain implant to control a camera and look around again

A year after Neuralink secured FDA approval to test brain implants designed to restore sight, one of its earliest patients has found another use for the technology – reclaiming his sense of movement. Brad Smith is not blind, but has advanced ALS, which severely limits his head movement. So, instead...Read Entire Article

Neuralink Patient With ALS Uses Brain Implant to Control Camera and Reclaim Mobility

A Neuralink patient diagnosed with advanced ALS has begun using his brain implant to control a camera and regain a sense of movement lost to the disease. The development marks one of the first real-world applications of Neuralink’s brain-computer interface (BCI) beyond its original aim of restoring sight. Brad Smith, who was diagnosed with ALS seven years ago, has lost nearly all motor control. Previously, he relied on an eye-tracking system cal…
