First human Neuralink patient can move a mouse cursor, Elon Musk says

Musk said next steps would involve more complex interface tasks, like clicking or dragging content on-screen.

Neuralink owner Elon Musk says the company's first human patient is now able to control basic computer mouse movements using a brain implant they received earlier this year.

In a discussion on X Monday, Musk shared some details about the patient's procedure.

"Progress is good, patient seems to have made a full recovery … and is able to control the mouse, move the mouse around the screen just by thinking."

The next steps, Musk said, would be to allow users to perform more complex operations, such as clicking and dragging content in a desktop environment.

Musk did not provide additional details or information about the procedure.
