I'm Neuralink's patient zero - why I chose to get Elon Musk's brain chip even though it could be hacked

A trip to a Pennsylvania lake turned into a tragedy for one man who was left paralyzed after running into the water for a swim. Noland Arbaugh, 29, recalls being hit on the side of the head by another person, leaving him unable to move his body from the shoulders down when he woke up face down in the lake. The 2016 accident led him on a journey to become Neuralink's patient zero this year, which saw him receive a brain implant that lets him control computers and other devices. 'I was a little worried it wouldn't work because [that could happen] with the first of anything, but I wanted to be the first to test all of that out,' he said in an interview on The Kim Komando Show. 'If anyone was going to go through it, to experience the downsides, I wanted to take that on as much as possible to help people after me.'
