Artificial nerve with organic transistor design shows promise for brain-machine interfaces

In recent years, many engineers have been trying to develop hardware components that could emulate the functions of various biological systems, including synapses, the human skin and nerves. These bio-inspired systems include what are referred to as artificial nerves, systems designed to emulate the role of nerves in the body of humans and other animals.

Paralysed man who became first person to use Elon Musk’s Neuralink implant speaks out about life-changing impact

A paralysed man who became the first person to use Elon Musk's Neuralink chip has spoken out about how it's changed his life.

The man with a mind-reading chip in his brain, thanks to Elon Musk

Noland Arbaugh tells the BBC how being the first Neuralink patient has changed his life.

More than a year ago, Noland Arbaugh became the first person to receive a chip from Elon Musk’s company, Neuralink. Today, the man can play chess and video games, but he still faces new challenges.

Noland had an accident in 2016, but thanks to Neuralink, he not only returned to playing chess, but he's already winning games. He confessed that he took risks in the name of science.

Noland Arbaugh, a paralyzed 30-year-old from Arizona (USA), was the first to receive a Neuralink brain implant that allows him to control a computer with his thoughts. Thanks to the technology developed by Elon Musk's company, he is doing things that he previously thought were impossible. The project is to last six years. What will happen after that is unknown.
