The first patient with a Neuralink implant played Nintendo's Mario Kart video game with his mind in a remarkable and impressive demo video.

    I’ve seen this kind of thing as well as people given an entirely new sense (a sense of direction similar to how birds can sense magnetic north) with just an EEG cap. Why would you need to implant something directly in the brain to do this?

      Yeah, the only way they’ll put a Musk chip in my brain is by force.

        By having someone locked inside the trunk that drives in your stead? Sounds very Musk.

      The purpose of Neuralink is not to enable you to play mario kart. It’s obviously just a demo.

        Then they should demo what it can do that a simple EEG cap can’t.

          But this is not EEG cap. It’s completely different technology and this demo is just a proof that it works. Isn’t this kind of like dismissing wi-fi because we already have landlines?

            Nope, wifi adds value. They are asking what the added value is
