First Neuralink patient says he stayed up till 6am playing Civilization 6
The first human to be implanted with the Neuralink brain chip spent all night gaming when he finally got full control over it.
Noland Arbaugh is the first person to be use Elon Musk's Neuralink brain chip, which, among other things, can operate a mouse on a screen by thinking.
In a recent video, Arbaugh demonstrated how he now can play chess with his mind and that he's a keen gamer at heart.
He was happy to admit that he stayed up playing acclaimed strategy game Civilization 6 until six in the morning, the first time he had full control of the device, something he couldn't do after becoming paralysed in an accident.
In the video he was asked what he's been using the Neuralink for outside of research sessions, to which Arbaugh said:
'I had basically given up on playing that game. It's a big game, and just the amount of time it takes to sit in on it, it's just a lot. I have to worry about a lot of things, like getting pressure sores,' he said.
He says had no regrets staying up so late, and admitted he played Civilization 6 for around eight hours that night.
Arbaugh was involved in a freak diving accident eight years ago, which resulted in him being paralysed from the shoulders down.
The Neuralink chip is designed to allow you control a computer or mobile device with your mind, which is obviously extremely useful for anyone in Arbaugh's position or who otherwise has difficulty using the normal interfaces.
Although Arbaugh is the first human to use the technology the idea is that it will become more widespread in the future, so that anyone can afford to use it for everyday tasks.
