"Musk's update came as a reply to an X post that featured some details about the current activities of Noland Arbaugh, the first person in the world to receive a Neuralink implant. Since receiving his implant, Arbaugh has been able to take back his life, and he now games, attends class, and even works as a paid speaker. In his response, Musk stated that Arbaugh could also be the first Neuralink patient to receive an upgrade."
"Noland actually provided a quick update about his life with his Neuralink implant, which he fondly named Eve, on X. He noted that his direct involvement with Neuralink has lessened as more participants have joined the company's human trials. And despite a recent pressure sore setback, he remains optimistic and teased "big news" coming for his two-year update in early 2026."
Noland Arbaugh, the first person to receive a Neuralink implant, regained significant independence and now games, attends classes, and works as a paid speaker. He named his implant Eve and reported reduced direct involvement with the company as more trial participants enroll. Despite a recent pressure sore setback, he remains optimistic and teased big news for his two-year update in early 2026. Plans to offer upgrades or a dual implant could further augment his abilities and eventually enable Neuralink recipients to outperform most humans in fast-reaction video games. Neuralink has made everyday goals achievable again for Arbaugh.
