Neuralink, the Elon Musk-funded neuroscience startup, has received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to implant its next patient with its experimental brain chip. This next operation will seek to fix certain issues that occurred following its first implantation operation. Neuralink previously implanted its experimental brain-computer interface chip in a paraplegic man, Noland Arbaugh, in an operation that was publicly announced this past January.
During a conversation with Bloomberg, Arbaugh explained the disappointment he felt when the chip began malfunctioning: “I started losing control of the cursor. I thought they’d made some changes and that was the reason...But then they told me that the threads were getting pulled out of my brain. At first, they didn’t know how serious it would be or a ton about it...It was really hard to hear. I thought I’d gotten to use it for maybe a month, and then my journey was coming to an end.
