Just a few weeks ago, and in these page, we talked about the progress of the patient's view of the human Neuralink. Today, in the “hundred day of success,” as he designated himself Elon Musk, Noland, talked about his experience with the implant in the mind of the company, the african-south america.
The 29-year-old explained that he underwent a surgery at the Institute of Neurological Barrow at Phoenix and at the age of 100 days and said that the implant allowed him to “move to the rhythm of my own, without needing to him and dictated”. In fact, before the chip to the implantohej, Noland Arbaugh and this was the name of his own – he used a stick to tabeti, which, when placed in the mouth by a member of the staff of the health care team, and allow it to complete the tasks, and, as explained by the experts, “not only can this tool can only be used in the upright, but it can also be a cause of anxiety, muscle strain, the plague in connection with the use of prolonged and even prevented from speaking normally.”
With Neuralink, Noland and is seen again in the light, and, in fact, describes the chip as well as “a, overload deluxe”, which allowed him to do some of the tasks that he had not been able to do for eight years. Not only that, the “thing to do, the more comfortable it is, that you may lie down on the bed, and I use it, and it has helped me to rilidhem in the world, and to your friends and family and allow them to do things by themselves again. without the need of the people, at all hours of the day and of the night.”
In the first few weeks after surgery, Noland was in a position to control the laptop with the Link, and like to play video games online with his friends, the shfletonte on the internet, to transmit directly to, and even for playing Mario Kart on a console, so that he could not do it. to be made after damage to the spinal cord.
The patient, undoubtedly, contributes to the research in the sessions, a maximum of 8 hours per day during the first few days of the week, and during the weekends the use of personal and rekreativ you can spend another 10 hours a day. In general, the Noland recently used the device for a total of 69 hours per week. Through these sessions, the researchers were able to assess the performance of the Connection; the greater the value, measured in bits per second, the greater is the control of the cursor.
Of course, that was not the absence of obstacles, and in the weeks prior to the team's Neuralink had to përshtatte the several wires to be çipit, which was withdrawn from the brain, resulting in a decrease in the elektrodave effective, and a reduction in the value of the Bps”. To address this problem, the researchers modified therefore the recording in order to make it more sensitive to the signals of the population in the nerve: in this way he improved the techniques for translating the signals into the movements of the cursor, and the user interface. “These improvements have resulted in an improvement of the fast and the on-going value of the Bps”, explained the experts.
