Neuralink, led by Elon Musk, has achieved another milestone by successfully implanting its advanced device in a second patient, as revealed by Musk during a comprehensive podcast interview with Lex Fridman. 

This device is designed to enable paralyzed individuals to control digital devices through thought alone. The latest recipient, who suffered a spinal injury similar to that of the first patient from a diving accident, now has 400 functioning electrodes from the device’s total of 1,024. 

Musk expressed optimism about the implant’s performance, stating, “I don’t want to jinx it but it seems to have gone extremely well with the second implant,” noting the strong signals and functionality. While he did not specify the exact timing of this surgery, he outlined plans to expand the trial to include eight more patients over the course of the year. 

The first patient to receive the implant, Noland Arbaugh, shared his experiences on the same podcast, detailing significant enhancements in his independence. Prior to receiving the implant in January, Arbaugh had to use a stick in his mouth to operate a computer tablet.  

With the Neuralink device, he can now control the computer screen with his thoughts alone, greatly reducing his dependence on physical aids and caregivers. Despite some initial post-surgical challenges with the implant’s wires retracting—a problem previously identified during animal trials—Neuralink adapted the device’s algorithm to improve sensitivity, allowing Arbaugh to surpass his previous record speeds for cursor control. 

In a broader discussion, Musk revealed his conversation with Donald Trump, whom he supports for the U.S. presidency, about forming a commission to enhance “government efficiency” by cutting back on business regulations. Musk criticized current regulations for impeding innovation and expressed his willingness to participate in efforts to streamline government operations.
