Robert Greiner is the sixth person in the world to receive the Neuralink implant, which allows users to use a kind of “mind-reading chip” to perform functions without the need for arms or legs.
Greiner used to be a dog trainer but was forced to stop working after being hit by a car in December 2022. The accident left him tetraplegic.
He received the Neuralink implant on June 14. Recently, a video shared on X, formerly Twitter, shows the former dog trainer playing video games on a computer using only the “power of the mind.”
“Absolutely amazing what I can do already in under a week with Neuralink!” he wrote in the post on Wednesday (18).
“I can’t thank the Neuralink team, the doctors, the surgeons, and all my family and friends enough for their support,” he continued.
In the video, he only moves his eyes while the game commands are executed.
Founded in 2016, Neuralink claims its chip creates a “general brain interface to restore autonomy” to patients with medical needs and “unlock human potential.”
Absolutely amazing what I can do already in under a week with Neuralink! I can’t thank the Neuralink team, the doctors, the surgeons and all of my family and friends support. It may only look like I’m doing a couple games but it’s been under a week and I’m already shocked! pic.twitter.com/5LEZzwumbx
