That’s right: the photo above is Neuralink’s second brain chip implant patient showing off his newly acquired Jedi mind tricks while playing a round of Counter-Strike 2. The patient, only known as Alex, has been undergoing a smooth recovery, according to Neuralink, and has been improving his ability to play video games as well as beginning to learn how to use computer-aided design (CAD) software to design 3D objects.
Nolan Arbaugh, Neuralink’s first brain chip implant patient, participated in a livestream on X/Twitter in March where he showed off his Chess skills, as well as talking about his love of playing Civilization VI. While Arbaugh did later experience a malfunction with the device, the company reported in May that it had resolved the issues. Now, a second patient has joined Arbaugh in Neuralink’s Prime Study, giving both patients back a sense of independence they thought they had lost forever.
