Neuralink’s Second Brain Implant Success: Designing 3D Objects and More

This Neuralink patient now can draw 3D pictures by just thinking!

Neuralink’s Latest Milestone
Neuralink has successfully implanted its second brain chip in a human patient named Alex, according to a recent update from the company, reports Business Insider via MSN. This advancement follows Neuralink’s first human trial in January 2024. Alex has already begun using the chip to play video games and design 3D objects, showcasing the technology’s potential in both recreational and practical applications.

How the Technology Works
The brain chip, known as the “Link,” features tiny electrode threads thinner than a human hair. These electrodes capture and transmit brain activity to external devices wirelessly. The chip aims to enable telepathic communication and enhanced gaming performance, with the ultimate goal of revolutionising interactions between humans and technology.

Robotic Surgery and Future Goals
The implantation procedure is performed by a specialised robot, minimising risks and ensuring precise placement of the threads. Neuralink’s long-term vision includes repairing damaged neurons and assisting those with paralysis. Despite past challenges, including regulatory hurdles and animal testing concerns, Neuralink continues to advance its ambitious objectives in brain-machine interfaces.
