Elon Musk on Monday announced that the first human patient has received a brain implant from his startup, Neuralink – which according to Musk “Enables control of your phone or computer, and through them almost any device, just by thinking.

“Imagine if Stephen Hawking could communicate faster than a speed typist or auctioneer. That is the goal,” Musk continued.

The Neuralink brain implant, called Telpathy, was designed to help people with traumatic brain injuries operate electronic devices only with their thoughts.

The company announced late last year that it was recruiting patients with quadriplegia caused by cervical spinal cord injury or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

Musk said that the initial results of the implant “show promising neuron spike detection.”
