Noland Arbaugh’s life has been completely transformed “I can control a computer with my thoughts” As the first human to receive a Neuralink brain implant, the man who was once paralyzed after a diving accident is now: • Playing video games for hours using only his mind • Earning a 4.0 GPA while studying neuroscience in college • Running his own business • Building a thriving speaking career with paid keynotes and global appearances He’s traveling the world, inspiring audiences, and even writing a book - all powered by a brain chip What used to be science fiction is now reality Neuralink is not just restoring lost abilities - it’s unlocking the next chapter of human potential

I think Sainthood in the Catholic Church requires the person to perform 2 miracles. By that measure, everyone at @Neuralink is already a Saint. Making the blind see? That’s on their list and soon it will be on their resumes! Literal miracle workers.

Modern day wizards indeed 💛✨

We now have 21 participants enrolled in trials worldwide. Check out how our Neuralnauts are driving BCI technology forward. neuralink.com/updates/two-ye…

Noland Arbaugh : "I can control a computer with my thoughts" 🧠 He is the first human Neuralink patient, shares his incredible journey from playing video games for hours to earning a 4.0 GPA in college - all powered by a brain-chip implant By reconnecting with the world through social media, starting a business, and returning to school, he’s showing that the future of human capability isn’t just science fiction and Neuralink is leading that shift

Not AI

This is so cool! Looking for solutions rather than focusing on problems. Making everything possible. The future is bright ✨! Incredible times to be alive. What a privilege! 💛

Neuralink's first patient, @ModdedQuad was featured in Mr. Beast's latest video. This is still super early days for the team working to: - Restore movement - Restore speech - Restore vision - Restore hearing - Restore memory ... and so much more. Mr. Beast is the biggest video creator in the world.

✨ Another “Before & After” from the @LABPLAS_H2020  Project! Advancing the science behind micro- and nanoplastics detection in the environment 🔬🌍 🌍 @LABPLAS_H2020  is closing critical methodological gaps and setting new benchmarks for environmental plastics research.

No tech in the world matches Neuralink. Before my BCI, video games weren’t even possible. The first day I used Eve to play Civ, I played for nine hours straight. Now I use Eve for school, emails to clients… and to write this post. 🤖

I really believe this. A day is coming when someone with a spinal cord injury rolls into the hospital, gets a brain implant, and walks out a couple days later. We’re not there yet. But we’re closer than people think. Being part of that progress changed something in me. For years I felt like a burden. Now I feel useful again. That’s a gift I don’t take lightly.

BREAKING: AUDIO/VIDEO CALLING is coming to the X CHAT web app! You'll be able to make audio or video calls to your friends from your desktop!

Many people still don't know that you can SEND ANY SORT OF FILE (.txt, .rar, .zip, and...) using X CHAT! It's pretty easy and safe!

🎄Happy holidays from the @LABPLAS_H2020 team!!!

Honored to be Neuralink’s 17th N1 participant. This is more than tech—it’s possibility. May progress be guided by safety, compassion, and ethics, and may access expand to those who can benefit most. Grateful. Hopeful. All in on the future. 🦾🧠 #Neuralink #BCI @WRMuirhead @HarithAkram @djseo

Exciting times indeed 💛✨

Grateful for the brilliant times we live in 💛✨

There was a time when I stayed up all night and slept all day because there wasn’t anything worth waking up for. No plans. No goals. No purpose. Then I got my Neuralink implant and everything shifted. I started going to bed early. I woke up excited for the day ahead. And just like that, I had found purpose again. Since then: • I’m back in school • I’ve launched a business • I’m traveling • I’m speaking on global stages Neuralink didn’t just change what I can do. It changed what I believe I’m capable of. It gave me hope. It gave me purpose. And for the first time in a long time, I’m excited for what’s next.

There's something about design that truly makes me happy. Before I was diagnosed with a complete SCI, I loved building thing with my hands and trying to make them unique and beautiful. The accident didn't just take my mobility, it robbed me of my creative drive. I didn't I would ever get that back that was up until @neuralink came into the picture. I was very serious about applying but just couldn't bring myself to do it. Then @ModdedQuad comes into the picture and I see his video and I saw how passionate he was toward the whole ide and that was like a switch. I want to thank Noland because if I hadn't seen that video I wouldn't be typing this message with my thoughts. So the day I gained control of the device I had the guys install @adskFusion and the first night I had my first part designed by BCI. I have been designing things non-stop since. Now lets talk tools and the first one is the @DroidArc it is a CNC robot that holds a plasma torch and can cut profiles in sheet metal. I have made numerous signs, letters and parts with this and i love it. I have also had the chance to help the local high school install and setup their CNC plasma table. I love being able to share my knowledge with others and show new technology to kids that want to learn. The next one everybody is more familiar with is the @BambulabGlobal X1C. It is my first 3D printer and I had no idea how dang handy these things were! I can go from thought, Neuralink, Fusion, X1C and poof! You have your part all in a matter of like a hour. I make everything from parts for my wheelchair or RC ✈ to toys for my nephew. These devices have completely changed my life. I now have my creative outlet back and I'm not done looking for new things to try. I'm thinking a laser next!!!😎 Thank you @elonmusk for the opportunity to showcase my skills, I'm extremely grateful🙏

NEURALINK MADE HIM THE FIRST PATIENT - NOW HE’S UNSTOPPABLE 21 months after becoming the first human to receive a Neuralink implant, Nolan Arbaugh isn’t just typing with his mind, he’s taking pre-calc, studying neuroscience, and launching a speaking career. Paralyzed from the neck down after a diving accident, Nolan says the chip, nicknamed “Eve”, made the impossible not only possible, but normal. He’s gone from hospital bed to tech conference keynote, with Fortune already cutting the check. Neuralink doesn’t call him much anymore, he jokes it’s “once in a blue moon”, because now, others are joining the trial. And as for Nolan? He’s building a brand, getting straight As, and teasing “big news” for 2026. Not bad for a guy running on brainwaves. Source: Teslarati, @ModdedQuad
