Neuralink did the impossible: Paralyzed patient skillfully controls Battlefield 6 shooter
Neuralink's brain implants are gradually proving their effectiveness: they The non-verbal human is open to communication: Neuralink has performed the third successful surgery to implant a chip into a patient's brain, and the first patient who received this implant has already demonstrated how he, almost by the power of thought, Science fiction has become reality! A Neuralink chip has enabled a paralysed person to freely operate a computer and even play Sid Meier's Civilization VI.
But the video published by Rob Greiner makes one even more amazed by the work of Elon Musk's startup.
What is known
Since 2022, American dog handler Rob Greiner was paralyzed as a result of a car accident. He became another Neuralink volunteer, and thanks to the chip, computer games are available to him again.
And if Sid Meier’s Civilization VI is a turn-based and rather slow game, Greiner showed that he is capable of handling the dynamic shooter Battlefield 6. For character movement and performing certain actions, like reloading weapons, Rob Greiner uses a special controller that he holds in his mouth. But for aiming, he imagines holding a mouse in his hand, and this mental image is enough for Neuralink to receive the command and move the crosshair.
As a result, the paralyzed gamer quite actively shoots targets in the Battlefield 6 range and handles the Redsec mode quite well. And it seems that after a few months of training, Rob Greiner will be able to play on the same level as other players.
