Neuralink expands human trials by implanting the N-One device in a second patient named Alex, who uses it to control digital devices and demonstrates significant advancements.
In June, 2024, Neuralink expanded its human trials by implanting the N-One device into a second patient referred to as Alex. Alex, who also suffered a spinal cord injury, has been using the implant to control digital devices. Notably, he has been able to design 3D objects using CAD software and play fast-paced action games like Counter-Strike, demonstrating the versatility of the Neuralink device. Comparing the first and second human surgeries reveals significant improvement. In the initial procedure with Noland, the threads were inserted at a depth of up to 3 to 5 millimeters. For the second patient, Neuralink increased the insertion depth to 8 millimeters. This adjustment aimed to anchor the threads more securely within the brain tissue, reducing the likelihood of retraction. These trials represent significant steps toward Neuralink's goal of restoring autonomy to individuals with neurological conditions. While challenges remain, the progress made with Nolan and Alex offers a glimpse into a future where brain-computer interfaces could transform lives.
