By his information, to correct the problem with outgoing ultra-thin wires, which the company previously reported, it is proposed to embed some of the wires deeper into the brain.
Neuralink previously said that the implant's tiny wires came loose from a patient's brain during a first-in-human trial, reducing the number of electrodes that can measure brain signals.
In January, Musk announced that the first person had received the Neuralink implant and was doing well. According to the businessman, the first data obtained on the operation of the device show promising results.

It gives the owner the ability to control a smartphone or computer using the power of thought and is primarily created for people who have lost the ability to use their limbs. In March, the first patient with the implant showed how he plays chess “with the power of thought.”
