Ilona Muska’s Neuralink has posted a video in which a monkey<\/a> moves a screen pointer and plays a video game with the power of thought.<\/p>\n

You can watch the video on the company’s YouTube channel.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The pager, a 9-year-old monkey, was implanted with Neuralink<\/a> about six weeks before the video was shot.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

He was first taught to play video games<\/a> with a joystick to get a reward in the form of a banana bar running through a metal straw. In doing so, the Neuralink device recorded information about how neurons learned to predict cursor movements.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

After studying his brain, Pager’s joystick was disconnected from the computer. The monkey used the device as usual, but it actually moved the pointer with the force of thought.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The video below shows how the Pager was allowed to play his favorite ping pong game, removing the joystick completely: The animal easily controls the game with the force of thought, and quietly drinks its juice.<\/p>\n

According to the spokesperson in the video<\/a>, the company is seeking to develop a system that can help people with disabilities control the interface of their computers and phones.<\/p>\n
