- Elon Musk announces successful implantation of Neuralink chip in first human, Noland Armagh.
- Neuralink aims to restore full body control in paralyzed individuals through brain-computer interface.
- Company seeks second participant for “Telepathy” brain implant trials, accepting applications.
Elon Musk’s brain-computer interface company, Neuralink, achieves a significant milestone as it successfully implants its chip in the first human patient, Noland Armagh. This breakthrough brings the company closer to its ambitious goal of restoring full body control in individuals suffering from paralysis.
Neuralink’s innovative technology allows for “telepathic control of a computer or phone just by thinking,” showcasing the potential of brain-computer interfaces to transform lives. With Armagh demonstrating the chip’s capabilities, Neuralink is now seeking a second participant for its “Telepathy” brain implant trials, aiming to further advance the field of medical technology.
Despite initial setbacks, including minor issues with implant positioning, Neuralink remains steadfast in its mission. The company is committed to pushing boundaries in brain-computer interface technology and is actively recruiting individuals eager to contribute to this groundbreaking research. As Neuralink continues to make strides towards unlocking the full potential of the human brain, the possibilities for improving the lives of those with paralysis are becoming increasingly tangible.
Interview with Noland, world’s first recipient of a Neuralink, which enables telepathic control of a computer or phone just by thinking!
Long-term, I think we can bridge severed nerve signals to a 2nd Neuralink in the spine, restoring full body control. https://t.co/4EY6yX5QyF

Neuralink is accepting applications for the second participant.
This is our Telepathy cybernetic brain implant that allows you to control your phone and computer just by thinking.
No one better than Noland (@ModdedQuad) himself to tell you about the first! https://t.co/k9DaZ3xr5g
