Recently, Elon Musk's brain chip company Neuralink encountered its first problem after an individual with special needs reported it weeks after having the chip implanted into his brain.
The individual in question is 29-year-old Noland Arbaugh who received it in Jan. 2024 resulting in him being able to play video games both offline and online which is nothing but groundbreaking for anyone suffering from disabilities similar to him.
According to the Wall Street Journal, the issue occurred after the connection between the brain tissue and threads was interrupted resulting in data loss. Neuralink proposed the removal of the chip from Noland's head and added that the issue would not threaten his safety.
