<h5>What is Neuralink?</h5><p>Have you ever imagined a world where you could control the computer with your thoughts alone? It sounds very futuristic, right? But what if I told you that technology already exists? Neuralink, a brain technology company founded by Elon Musk, has developed it.</p><p>This technology allows patients to use their thoughts to control computers. Neuralink's device, roughly the size of a coin, is designed to be implanted in the skull. It has very thin wires that will connect directly to the brain. Using this device, a person can initially control computers solely using their thoughts.</p><p>In the future, the device will be used for various other things! Musk has also said the device will first be used to help people suffering from spinal cord injuries or paralysis. You can read more about Neuralink <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.newsahoot.com/articles/neuralink-implants-its-first-chip-in-a-human-brain">here</a>. The device is being tested; not everyone can use it now.</p><p>Recently, the first patient to be implanted with the Neuralink device has done something amazing using the device.</p><h5>What amazing thing has Neuralink’s first patient done?</h5><div class="raw-html-embed"><figure> <video width="100%" controls=""> <source src="https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/newsahoot.appspot.com/o/man-with-brain-chip-uses-mind-control-to-play-games%2FNeuralink%20Chess.mp4?alt=media&amp;token=b1ad2876-9e63-4e72-a059-1d746b3c4a29" type="video/mp4"> </video> <figcaption>The patient is using a Neuralink device to play chess. Video by Historic Vids.</figcaption> </figure></div><p>Recently, Neuralink Corp. streamed a video showing their first 29-year-old patient, a quadriplegic man, using his mind to play chess and Civilization VI (a video game) just like X-Men’s Professor X.</p><p>The device has also helped him learn Japanese and French through an online course. Before Noland Arbaugh (the patient) received the Neuralink gadget, his computer use was minimal. He had to use a mouth stick or had to rely on his family to use one.</p><p>Now, he can lie in bed and play games or use the computer as much as he likes. The device sounds impressive, doesn’t it? It’s like having a superpower! Well, at least for Arbaugh, it’s nothing less than a life-changing superpower.</p><h5>What would the future look like if everyone used Neuralink?</h5><p>In the future, when everyone uses Neuralink, the world might look very different. It will be like having a computer in your brain. People may control things simply by thinking, such as playing games or learning a language quickly. This can help in various issues, including healthcare and making the world more accessible to disabled people.</p><p>But, one may ask what will happen if the device gets hacked. Will the people be at risk? Also, how can people keep their thoughts private while using the device? So, more research is required before this device is used globally.</p>

The Neuralink device allows humans to control computers using their thoughts.
