At the moment, there is only one person in the world with a chip from Neuralink in his brain - Nolan Arbo. He agreed to test the new technology on himself so that other people could use it later. He told reporters about the company's work on a new application.

"They're trying to build it for the Mac computer, and that will allow them to just port the app to any device, whether it's a smartphone, a computer, or a tablet, that I can control."

Currently, the tests are being conducted on a computer, the cursor on the screen of which is controlled by a program that receives signals from the human brain. The developers plan to make changes to it to expand its capabilities to control devices that do not have a cursor.
