Intubation in the back of the head to fight CS and fight for three kills! The latest progress of Musk's brain-computer interface, and the idea of playing "Black Myth" is just around the corner?

Look at this "CS 2" game video, the real · back of the head intubated player played, Alex, the second volunteer from Musk's Neuralink company.
At the beginning of the game, "I met love around the corner", he reacted very quickly and easily handled.
Facing the gang is not left behind.
Of course, the teammates and opponents in the video are computer-controlled bots, not against real players.
But how to say it, he just completed the implant surgery last month, and now he has mastered it to this extent, which is also very powerful.
Before the brain-computer interface was implanted, the unfortunate paralyzed game enthusiast could only play games "with his mouth".
Using a device called the QuadStick, several straws are used as "sticks" and "buttons" to switch from movement to aiming to release the straw and bite the other.
Now it is much more convenient to have a brain-computer interface, and his biggest feeling is:
It's fun just to run around, and I can get to where I want to go just by looking at it.
This is crazy.
The purpose of Neuralink's research is not just to enable paralyzed people to enjoy games, but to prove that BCI technology is safe and useful in daily life, mainly in three main indicators:
From the first moment Alex connected his brain-computer interface to the computer, it took him less than 5 minutes to start controlling the cursor with his mind.
This is the first game he plays, Webgrid, and the rules are simple: where the light is on.
But the results achieved are not simple:
In a matter of hours, he surpassed the maximum speed and accuracy achieved with any other assistive technology.
And on the first day of using Neuralink, it broke the previous world record for cursor control of brain-computer interfaces.
Prior to his spinal cord injury, Alex worked as an automotive repair technician, repairing various types of vehicles and large machinery.
Since then, he has wanted to learn how to design 3D objects using computer-aided design (CAD) software.
On his second day with Neuralink, Alex used CAD software Fusion 360 for the first time and managed to design a custom bracket for his brain-computer interface charger, which was then 3D printed and mounted in his wheelchair.
The Neuralink team worked with Alex to develop a methodology for mapping imaginary movements in his mind into different types of mouse clicks (left, right, middle, etc.) to improve his productivity.
Expands what he can do and enables him to quickly switch between various modes (zoom, scroll, pan, click and drag) in CAD software.
Later, in his free time, Alex continued to use CAD software to bring his design ideas to life.
Over time, Neuralink hopes to help many people create in their areas of interest and expertise, helping them rediscover their passions.
Coming up with an idea, designing it, and actually having a physical object as a finished product makes me feel like I'm creating again.
Noland, the first participant in Neuralink, had a glitch: the wiring implanted in the brain tissue retracted, causing the entire device to react more slowly.
Now, after subsequent repairs, Noland's condition has stabilized, and the performance of the brain-computer interface has been restored - more than double the previous world record for cursor control of the brain-computer interface.
To reduce the likelihood of wiring retraction in the second volunteer, Neuralink made a number of improvements, including reducing brain movement during surgery and reducing the gap between the implant and the brain surface.
Happily, Alex, a second volunteer, has not yet observed this kind of problem.
The first volunteer, Noland, is also a game enthusiast, using a brain-computer interface to beat gamepad players in Mario Kart, and also enjoys playing strategy games like Civilization 6 and Slaying the Spires.
Some netizens expressed that they "hope to see two volunteers play 1v1 in a multiplayer game".
Going forward, to further enhance the volunteer's experience with digital devices, Neuralink will continue to add the available modalities:
The team is working to decode multiple clicks and multiple simultaneous movement intents for full mouse and gamepad operation.
Is the brain-computer interface just around the corner to play "Black Myth"?
In addition, the team is also developing algorithms to recognize handwritten intent so that text can be typed faster.
Now the fastest way for them to type is to tap the on-screen keyboard with the cursor.
These features not only help restore the ability of paralyzed people to use electronic devices, but also allow people who are unable to speak to regain their ability to communicate, such as those with neurological disorders such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
Finally, Neuralink plans to enable brain-computer interfaces to interact with the physical world, such as allowing users to eat by controlling a robotic arm or moving a wheelchair.
Musk himself has just released his plans:
If all goes well, hundreds of people will use Neuralink in a few years, tens of thousands in 5 years, and millions in 10 years......
