The first 患者 living with Elon Musk's Neuralink 'brain 半導体素子' implant wants the world to know how 'amazing' and 'rewarding' his 臨床の 裁判，公判 with the tech has been.
Just four months ago, 30-year-old Noland Arbaugh went under the knife for the 実験の 外科 that would 許す him to 支配（する）／統制する computers with his mind.
'I'm really excited to keep going,' Arbaugh, who has been?麻ひさせるd from his neck's fourth vertebra 負かす／撃墜する since college, said of his 役割 in Neuralink's human 裁判，公判.
But while the tech company's brain-computer interface has 許すd him to race his stepfather in Nintendo's Mario Kart, navigate a computer cursor and more ― all with just his thoughts alone ― technical 障害物s still 疫病／悩ます the brain 半導体素子's 機能（する）／行事ing.
A 報告（する）／憶測 on Arbaugh's Neuralink 裁判，公判 said that だいたい 85 パーセント of the 半導体素子's tendril-like 関係s to his brain have come loose, 軍隊ing Neuralink staff to retool the system on its ソフトウェア 味方する, as FDA 認可するs 裁判，公判s on a second 患者.?
The first 患者 living with Elon Musk 's Neuralink brain 半導体素子 implant wants the world to know just how 'amazing' and 'rewarding' his 臨床の 裁判，公判 has been with the tech.?'I'm really excited to keep going,' 30-year-old Noland Arbaugh (above) said of his 役割 in Neuralink's human 裁判，公判
But while the tech company's brain-computer interface has 許すd Arbaugh to race his stepfather in Nintendo's Mario Kart (as he plays here, above), navigate a computer cursor and more - all with just his thoughts - technical 障害物s still 疫病／悩ます the brain 半導体素子's 機能（する）／行事ing
によれば Arbaugh, who told his story to the New York Times, his brain's natural movements, floating in the 'cerebrospinal fluid' that 保護するs it from 傷害, has slid these electrode-like 関係s loose over time.
However, Neuralink sources told the 塀で囲む Street 定期刊行物?the 機能不全 may have resulted from 空気／公表する becoming 罠にかける in his skull during 外科: a 条件 known as pneumocephalus that can 原因（となる） seizures, brain abscess and death if untreated.
The 報告（する）／憶測 （人命などを）奪う，主張するd that the 条件 原因（となる）d the threads to detach, which almost led to the implant 存在 除去するd.?
But Musk's company 明らかにする／漏らすd this month that it 計画（する）s to?implant with threads that go deeper into the brain for its second human 患者, 計画（する）s that have been 認可するd by the US Food and 麻薬 行政 (FDA).?
Neuralink's brain-comput er interface consists of a computer 半導体素子 大（公）使館員d to tiny 柔軟な threads that are stitched into the brain 経由で a 'sewing-machine-like' robot.
補佐官d by 医療の professionals and the 会社／堅い's staff, the robot 除去するs a small chunk of the skull, connects these thread-like electrodes to 確かな areas of the brain, and stitches up the 穴を開ける ― with the only 明白な remains 存在 a scar from the incision.

Neuralink's human 裁判，公判s for its brain-computer interface hope to 評価する the implant's safety
Musk has said that this 手続き takes just 30 minutes, will not 要求する general anesthesia, and 患者s will be able to return home on the same day.
But Northwestern University?neuroscientist Dr 物陰／風下 Miller 公式文書，認めるd that the brain's 免疫の 弁護s have also 提起する／ポーズをとるd challenges for brain 半導体素子 implants like Neuralink.
研究員s, Dr Miller said, have seen brains grow scar tissue surrounding sensor implants, inhibiting the 半導体素子's connectivity の中で other 問題／発行するs.?
Brains have even 拒絶するd whole 部隊s that were connected to the brain by a grid of tiny needles, によれば Dr Miller, who 研究員s rehabilitative 薬／医学.
Although Neuralink's ソフトウェア 直す／買収する，八百長をするs 要求するd Arbaugh to learn new methods of clicking and navigating his cursor on a computer 審査する, the Arizona 居住（者） said it was a still an 改良 over l ife before Neuralink.
In the years after he became 麻ひさせるd by a?swimming 事故, Arbaugh had tried a variety of 装置s that 最終的に failed to 供給する a long-称する，呼ぶ／期間／用語 解答 for his mobility needs.?

Arbaugh with loved ones
事前の to Neuralink, Apple's 発言する／表明する assistant Siri on Arbaugh's iPad had proven to be the most reliable method to compose text-based written messages, call his friends and 成し遂げる other life 仕事s.?
After the Neuralink implant was 任命する／導入するd this January, and に引き続いて an 激しい training period with the company's staff, Arbaugh managed to break a 2017 world 記録，記録的な／記録する for 速度(を上げる） and precision while controlling a computer cursor with his mind.
'I was like, once you guys take these 抑制s off me, I'm just gonna 飛行機で行く,' Arbaugh remembered.?'It was very, very 冷静な／正味の.'
While he said that the loss of 85 パーセント of this interconnectivity with the brain implant has been?difficult and disappointing, he 強調するd that he is proud to play a 役割 in the 改良 of these 打開?医療の 科学（工学）技術s.
'I just want to bring everyone along this 旅行 with me,' Arbaugh said, 追加するing that he hopes Neuralink and 類似の 装置s will one day help to others 回復する their lost speech, sight or movement.
One?neurophysiologist, Dr?Cristin 井戸／弁護士席?― who helped to start the FDA program that that reviews 医療の 装置s like implants for 是認 ― said that Neuralink's 計画（する）s to 任命する／導入する deeper 関係s between their 半導体素子s and the human brain may run into other 生物学の 障害s.

Dr 井戸／弁護士席, who 作品 at the?University of Colorado, said that deeper tendril-threads may still slide out of place or even rub along the surface of the brain, where they might 潜在的に 増加する the 量 of scar tissue formed?― 増加するing the signal loss between the brain and the 半導体素子, の中で other possible health 問題／発行するs.
Neuralink's soft, connective thread design, she 示唆するd, may need to go 支援する to the 製図／抽選 board.?
'It may be the 事例／患者 that a fully 柔軟な 装置 may not be a long-称する，呼ぶ／期間／用語 解答,' Dr 井戸／弁護士席 said.?'It's hard to know.'
Regardless, Neuralink's first-ever human 患者 still has high hopes for the implant's 未来, 説 that he looks 今後 to wider, more science-fictional 使用／適用s of brain-computer interfaces after the tech has helped those most in need.
'Then it can go to enabling people to 高める their 能力s,'?Arbaugh said, 'as long as we don't give up our humanity along the way.'
