March 23 news, Nolan Abel, the first chip implant participant from Musk's brain-computer interface company Neuralink, tweeted his first post on Platform X (formerly Twitter) using his mind.
In the post, he humorously stated: "Twitter banned me because they thought I was a bot. X and Elon Musk reinstated me because I am."
Musk retweeted the post, writing: "First tweet sent using a brain-computer interface: by @nooanalabo using @Neuralink's Link device!"
As it was reported, Nolan Abolafia is a quadriplegic who has been able to type, play games, and more using a brain–computer interface, and Neuralink previously released a video of him playing chess with his mind.
Neuralink was founded in 2016 and hopes to create a way for the human brain to interface with external devices: by implanting ultra-thin threads into the brain and connecting those threads to a custom-designed chip containing electrodes that can read a neuron’s spiking activity.
Musk has said that Neuralink’s near-term goal is to help paraplegics regain the ability to type, and in the future, to enable paraplegics to walk, to restore sight to the blind, and eventually to create a “symbiosis of human and machine intelligence.”
