After a diving accident left him paralyzed below the shoulders, Noland Arbaugh showed how he can now play video games, play chess, and study languages on his own,

How are implanted Neuralink chips? The Neuralink gadget, which is about the size of a 50 cent coin, is implanted into the skull using tiny wires in order to implant a chip.
These have the ability to capture and interpret cerebral impulses, which are then sent to a receiving unit via electrical stimulation. Users may now operate things.
With only their thoughts thanks to this. Additionally, the company has created a robot that can surgically install the gadget. According to Musk, Neuralink has improved its processors.
With “more electrodes, higher bandwidth, and longer battery life” since the original implant. He said that he hoped to implant the devices in as many as thirty other patients this year.
