The “Neuralink” research team is working on an app for Apple devices that will allow people with a brain implant to control a smartphone or tablet. According to the researchers, the technology was first tested on a computer. Specifically, the app controlled the on-screen cursor by receiving brain signals. For reference, Nolan Arbo, the American patient who was the first in the world to have a Neuralink chip implanted, said that he is learning to write using the system.
