Neuralink lets paralyzed patients drive wheelchairs with pure thought
Neuralink just showed off clinical trial participants steering, reversing, and adjusting powered wheelchairs using only their thoughts. The N1 implant decodes motor cortex signals from over 1,000 electrodes into movement commands, which one patient said became "second nature" in minutes. It marks a big step from pushing on-screen cursors to commanding physical hardware, though the tech is still investigational.
