It’s worth noting that previously chips and neuro-interfaces were either implanted in animals or connected to humans non-invasively. The same Neuralink company, for example, only implanted chips in monkeys.

what is known

• The purpose of the operation was to restore the paralyzed patient’s ability to control electronic devices and communicate with the outside world.
• Synchron has announced that it is the first to implant a human brain-computer interface, at least in the US.
• The operation was minimally traumatic: the device was inserted into the motor cortex of the brain through the jugular vein running along the anterior surface of the neck.
• The patient returned home 48 hours after the procedure.
• The patient was reported to have suffered a severe stroke. now he can control digital devices with the power of thought — the implant transmits signals to them wirelessly using a proprietary digital language.

The patient learns to use this device to live more independently and most importantly to communicate with family and friends,
– says physiotherapist David Putrino.

The chip tester, whose name has not yet been announced, has not yet learned how to use the new device under the supervision of doctors and engineers, since the technology is new and does not spend much time with it. From now on, thanks to the implant, he will be able to write text messages, use e-mail and shop online, for example.

If the technology proves itself, it will be distributed to millions of people around the world who have lost the ability to control electronic devices with their hands.
