Neuralink announced the second brain implant given to a human is now running smoothly. The recipient, who goes by the pseudonym Alex, is said to now be able to control Counterstrike games, and use Fusion 360 CAD software with just a thought. Through CAD software, Alex successfully designed a Neuralink charger that was realized using a 3D printer.
More good news for Neuralink the issue of wires coming loose from the brain that the first implant recipient had was not detected in Alex. Alex received the Neuralink implant last month, six months after the first recipient received it in January. Clinical trials on humans were conducted after Neuralink received approval from the FDA. Previously there were reports of tests on monkeys, sheep and pigs causing death.
Neuralink's goal is to enable people with paralysis to live a normal life using their brain implants. In addition to Neuralink, a brain implant developed by the University of California, San Francisco allows stroke patients to speak again. Synchron's brain implant also allows the device to be controlled by thinking two years ago.
