Core Viewpoint - Neuralink's brain-machine interface technology has the potential to significantly enhance the quality of life for individuals with paralysis, as demonstrated by the first participant, Noland Arbaugh, who has regained autonomy and control over digital devices after receiving the implant [7][16][31]. Group 1: Noland Arbaugh's Experience - Noland Arbaugh became the first human participant to receive a Neuralink brain-machine interface implant, allowing him to control devices using his thoughts [7][16]. - The surgery was performed using a Neuralink-designed robotic surgical device, which implanted a chip with over 1000 electrodes into the motor cortex of his brain [12][22]. - After the surgery, Arbaugh was able to perform tasks such as playing video games and controlling household devices without physical movement, breaking previous records for cursor control speed and accuracy [16][19]. Group 2: Neuralink's Technological Innovations - Neuralink's device offers a higher connection rate compared to other brain-machine interfaces currently in research, as it is implanted deeper into the brain's motor control area [22]. - The device is wireless, allowing participants to move freely without being tethered to external receivers, although it requires charging approximately every five hours [24]. - The company aims to develop further applications, including restoring vision for the blind and creating robotic arms for participants to regain sensory control [56][60]. Group 3: Public and Personal Impact - Since revealing his identity as the first participant, Arbaugh has become a public figure, facing both opportunities and challenges, including media attention and personal security issues [28][30]. - He has expressed a renewed sense of purpose and autonomy, engaging in educational pursuits and planning to start a business focused on professional speaking [31][33]. - Arbaugh's experience highlights the potential societal impact of Neuralink's technology, as he believes it represents a significant leap in the field of neuroscience and technology [49][70]. Group 4: Future Directions and Controversies - Neuralink is expanding its clinical trials and aims to increase the number of participants, with ongoing studies in multiple countries [60][66]. - The company faces criticism regarding the invasiveness of its methods and ethical concerns related to animal testing, although it maintains a commitment to safety and ethical standards [61][62]. - Elon Musk has emphasized the careful approach taken in human trials, asserting that the company prioritizes safety in its advancements [63][64].

芯片插入大脑18个月后，全球首位Neuralink受试者如今怎样了？最新访谈中，Noland Arbaugh亲述像重生了一样。如今，他不仅能用思想玩游 戏、控制家电，还在重返大学、创业和公开演讲中找回了生活的意义。 Noland Arbaugh是Neuralink第一位接受脑机芯片植入的受试者。 他最近接受了《财富》杂志的专访，深入交流了神秘而科幻十足的Neuralink的幕后故事。 作为最前沿科技的深度参与者，他对人性在赛博时代有怎样的独特体悟？ 会场内的Neuralink员工们爆发出热烈的掌声，Noland Arbaugh，这位在2016年因游泳事故导致两节脊椎骨脱位、从此失去了肩膀以下的感觉和运动能力的 男子，脸上露出了灿烂的笑容，头戴着一顶红色的德克萨斯农工大学帽子。 他笑着开口说道：「你好，人类。」 就在这次大会的前一个月，Noland Arbaugh在凤凰城的Barrow神经学研究所接受了手术，这个地方离他在Yuma的家大约2.5小时车程。 他的脑部植入了Neuralink多年来研发并在动物身上测试的实验芯片。 Noland Arbaugh在手术中被麻醉，手术历时不到两小时，由一台Neuralin ...
