Neuralink Third Patient: Quadriplegic Controls Bionic Arm to Drink Coffee via Brain-Computer Interface
Neuralink reveals progress of third brain-computer interface implant patient. Quadriplegic controls bionic arm via N2 chip, achieving fine motor operations including picking up cup to drink coffee.
Neuralink today revealed progress of the third human subject with N2 chip.
Breakthrough
Patient Sarah, quadriplegic due to car accident, after N2 chip implant:
- Can control bionic arm
- Both hands can perform fine movements
- Successfully picked up cup to drink coffee for first time
- Typing speed reaches 25 characters/minute
Technical Details
- Neural signal decoding accuracy: 95%
- Control latency: 50ms
- Long-term implantation safety verification passed
Next Steps
Neuralink plans to conduct simultaneous dual-arm control testing, and launch consumer-grade brain-computer interface product R&D.
