🧠 Neuralink demos mind-controlled wheelchair

Neuralink showed participants in clinical trials controlling an electric wheelchair using only their thoughts. An implant reads movement intentions in real time and moves a cursor on a screen to direct the chair.

The cursor controls an app displaying a live camera feed from the wheelchair’s perspective. Moving the cursor up drives forward, down reverses, left and right steer, and pushing the cursor further increases speed.

This “telepathic wheelchair control” is still early stage but aims to restore independent mobility for people with paralysis. Even moving around a room without help is a big step.
