Elon Musk uses telekinetic technology to demonstrate Neuralink theme in video

The head of Tesla, who is also the head of Neuralink, posted a link from his company featuring a nearly 9-minute video from Neuralink…and it's a full-fledged testimonial from a guy named… noland arbor — A 29-year-old quadriplegic who went under the knife for this.

About eight years ago, he had a diving accident that left him paralyzed from the shoulders down. But after he heard what Neuralink could do, he signed up.

This clip shows how exactly the technology works. And, of course, we see Noland moving his head around the mouse on a laptop set up in front of him… on which a man is playing chess. It seems pretty seamless, and he gets it perfectly.

Noland can move chess pieces around the screen or even stop the music just by thinking where you want the mouse to go. He gets into the weeds a bit when explaining how exactly he does it… He performs what he calls an imaginary move, using a lot of brain power to I said I was trying to change direction from the movement.

Like we said…he certainly seems to have a knack for it now – and what's even more surprising is another thing he touches on in this video: How is it going after surgery? seems to be going well.

Noland is an enthusiastic supporter of Neuralink, admitting there is still a lot of work to be done, but says the progress so far is encouraging. He says the number of people this could help is amazing and he's happy to be patient number one.

This is a very powerful visual…and you have to imagine that many more people will come forward to become guinea pigs in this effort, especially when you look at the results so far.
