After the first ever human brain chip implantation, billionaire Elon Musk's company is now looking for a second candidate for its Neuralink chip, Gizmodo reported.
Just five months ago, Noland Arbaugh became the first human to have the start-up company’s technology implanted in his brain.
Initially, it was reported that Noland was doing well and had successfully been able to play online chess and control a computer cursor or keyboard through his thoughts.
However, after some time, "a number of threads had retracted from Arbaugh’s brain, resulting in a net decrease in the number of effective electrodes."
Chief Executive Musk announced on Friday that his startup Neuralink is accepting applications for a second person to get their "telepathy cybernetic brain implant that allows patients to control their phone and computer just by thinking."
The Tesla owner posted on X on Thursday, writing, "If you have quadriplegia and want to explore new ways of controlling your computer, we invite you to participate in our clinical trial."
Adding in, he wrote: "Anyone with "limited or no ability to use both hands due to cervical spinal cord injury or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)" can apply for the PRIME Study."
