Musk's Neuralink says second trial implant went well, no thread retraction issue
- Elon Musk's startup Neuralink successfully implanted its brain device in a second patient named Alex, stating that the surgery "went well."
- Alex is using the device to play Counter-Strike 2 and design 3D objects, with a smooth recovery reported.
- Neuralink implemented measures to prevent "thread retraction" during surgery, which had affected the first patient, Noland Arbaugh.

Latest Patient Implanted With Neuralink Is Using It to Play "Counter-Strike 2"
Last month, a second human patient had a brain chip implanted by Elon Musk's brain-computer interface startup Neuralink — and he's already off to the races. In recently shared footage, the patient — named Alex, though his last name hasn't been revealed — can be seen playing the iconic first-person shooter "Counter-Strike 2" using his mind for controls. "I’m already super impressed with how this works," Alex said in a blog post shared by Neuralin…
Neuralink's latest implant user designs 3D objects and plays Counter-Strike 2 with Brain-Computer Interface
Neuralink, led by Elon Musk, has successfully enabled its second human recipient to design 3D objects and play Counter-Strike 2 using a brain-computer interface. The recipient, Alex, found playing such video games highly satisfying. This advancement follows the initial trials with fewer complications, revealing promising future applications for the technology.
Second patient who used the chip can now use automated design software
Second Human Neuralink Brain Implant Recipient Uses It For CAD And Videogaming
As Neuralink works towards getting its brain-computer interface technology approved for general use, it now has two human patients who have received the experimental implant. The second patient, [Alex], received the implant in July of 2024 and is said to be doing well, being able to play games like Counter Strike 2 without using his old mouth-operated controller. He’s also creating designs in Fusion 360 to have them 3D printed. This positive ne…
