I CHIP NEL CERVELLO FUNZIONANO!

Italian-language YouTube commentary reporting that Neuralink’s brain chips appear to work: the video describes the company’s first human patient, Snowland Harbaugh, a 29-year-old man paralyzed from the shoulders down after an underwater accident, who underwent surgery in February and can now control a computer (e.g., play chess) using a Neuralink implant. The host outlines Neuralink’s method (tiny electrodes that read neuronal electrical impulses), states therapeutic goals (treat paralysis) and speculative future goals (cognitive enhancement), and asks viewers whether they would implant a chip and for what purpose.
