Elon Musk startup Neuralink developed robotic surgery equipment as part of its work to link brains to computersElon Musk says the first human patient with a brain implant from his Neuralink startup is able to move a computer mouse with thought. Last month, Musk's neurotechnology company installed a brain implant in its first human patient and on Monday Musk reported the experiment had been a success. The patient is able to "move the mouse around the screen just by thinking," Musk said. "We're trying to get as many button presses as possible from thinking," Musk added. Neuralink's technology works through a device about the size of five stacked coins that is placed inside the human brain through invasive surgery.
