Elon Musk’s brain chip startup faces setback

(CNN)– The first test subject for Elon Musk’s brain chip implant startup developed some problems just weeks after insertion that hindered the implant’s data speeds and effectiveness.

Scientists were reportedly able to make the implant more sensitive to increase performance.

In January, Noland Arbaugh who has been a quadriplegic since 2016 had the chip implanted into the part of his brain that controls the ability to move.

About a month later, Elon Musk said the patient could control a computer mouse with his brain.

Musk previously said the company’s first product would be called telepathy and targets patients who have lost the use of their limbs.
