Noland Arbaugh suffered a spinal cord injury while swimming in a lake in 2016 .

He is now the first person to receive an experimental brain implant called Telepathy .

The implant decodes movement signals in the brain and translates them into computer commands.

With the implant, he can browse the web and play computer games whenever he wants.

The day after your surgery, Musk posted on X that the device was showing neuron spike detection.

Musk: "It wasn’t hard at all, and it’s only going to improve from here" He says he's constantly multitasking when he's in sessions or when he’m playing.

Some of the implant’s threads, dotted with electrodes that read neural activity, pulled out of your brain.

You'll have the implant for at least a year as part of the trial.

"It's just made me more independent, and that helps not only me but everyone around me," he says.
