Elon Musk's brain-chip startup Neuralink Corp. on Wednesday livestreamed its first brain implant patient, a quadriplegic, using telepathy to play online chess.

In the video, 29-year-old Noland Arbaugh, who was paralysed below the shoulder after a freak diving accident 8 years ago, played chess on his laptop and moved the cursor using the Neuralink device.

"I had basically given up playing that game," Arbaugh said, referring to the game Civilization VI, "you all (Neuralink) gave me the ability to do that again and played for 8 hours straight."

He added that there was "still work to be done" to refine the technology. "I don't want people to think that this is the end of the journey, there's still a lot of work to be done, but it has already changed my life," he added.
