Minimally invasive procedure at the Mayo Clinic uses NeuroOne's cutting-edge brain implant technology. Imagine waking up seizure-free after years of suffering. For 17-year-old Clara Fuller, this dream became reality thanks to groundbreaking brain implant technology. Her journey from relentless seizures to a normal teenage life highlights the incredible potential of medical innovation.

Neuralink, the brain-computer interface company founded by Elon Musk, has revealed the identity of its first patient, who says the firm's implant has "changed his life". However, it is not yet clear that Neuralink has done anything beyond replicating existing research efforts, experts say. Musk announced in January that the first human patient had received a Neuralink implant, but little detail was released at the time. We now know – from a livestream video by the company – who that patient is and how the tests are going. Noland Arbaugh explains in the video that an accident eight years ago dislocated his fourth and fifth vertebrae, making him a quadriplegic.

On Wednesday, December 14 at 19:30 GMT: For decades, scientists have been developing brain-computer interfaces – technology that allows humans to control computers via the power of thought alone. Researchers have found some success in using BCI technology with brain implants that help people with mobility disorders control prosthetic limbs. In other research settings, implanted microchips have also been used to help people with disabilities or neuromuscular diseases manage seizures and communicate through text messages. Now private companies like Elon Musk's Neuralink are growing their presence in the neurotech field, and with that growth comes the prospect of creating brain implant devices for a broader market beyond those with disabilities. The neurotech company Synchron is currently testing a surgically implanted device that allows a person to control an iPhone using only thoughts.
