Neuralink Implant Recipient Experiences Problems

Neuralink claims that the missing electrodes temporarily reduced the brain chip’s highest data rate, which meant that less analogue neural indications were being recorded and converted into the number of digital bits each second needed to precisely control the patient’s computer mouse.

Approximately one hundred days following the implantation of its neural-computer interface chip in its first adult subject, the company announced that a portion of the minuscule wiring embedded in the body had ceased to transmit information.

Neuralink explained that by adjusting its processing algorithms and increasing the system’s responsiveness to mouse motion instructions, it was possible to improve effectiveness beyond what was observed in the research’s initial stages.

Neuralink stated: “Our current work is focused on pushing cursor control performance to the same level as that of able-bodied individuals, and on expanding functionality to include text entry.”
