ALBAWABA - Elon Musk, the creator of the American neuroscience startup Neuralink, declared that a person with a brain chip could mentally operate a computer mouse.
   
An post on the American CNBC channel's website in Ankara claims that Musk initially described the situation of the brain chipped person in the oral chat rooms (spaces) on social networking platform X.

Elon Musk declared that the first-ever human to wear a Neuralink brain chip had happened. "As far as we know, the patient is fully recovered with no side effects and is able to manipulate the mouse. He said, "He just needs to think to move the mouse on the screen."

On January 30, Elon Musk announced on his social media platform X that the day before was the first instance of a chip made by Neuralink being implanted on a human.

Musk reported that the recovery process had gone smoothly and that the preliminary findings were "promising".

Musk claimed that the first Neuralink product was called "Telepathy," based only on the notion that nearly every gadget is controlled by the phone or computer and via them.

Neuralink, which received approval for human experimentation last year, declared that the FDA in the United States had given it permission to begin human testing of the brain chip project in May 2023.

Through the interpretation of brain impulses, chips that were previously tested on monkeys have been effectively communicated to gadgets.

Neuralink, which was founded in 2016 by Musk and a team of engineers, uses brain-implanted microchips to heal neurological conditions including stroke and blindness and enhance the lives of those who are disabled.
