Neuralink Reports Success in Second Human Patient Using the Link Implant

Progress in Brain-Computer Interfaces

Neuralink has officially reported successful progress for its second human patient, who received the Link brain-computer interface implant as part of the Prime Study. Deployed to assist individuals with quadriplegia, the implant has enabled the patient to control computer mouse pointers and video game controllers using direct thoughts.

Clinical Findings and Operations

Rapid Interface Adaptation: The patient learned to control 2D and 3D computer interfaces within 2 hours of activation.

Thread Stability: Custom surgical methods minimized electrode thread retractions, ensuring stable signal transmission across the motor cortex.

Extended Applications: The patient has successfully used CAD design applications and played multiplayer video games autonomously.

Neuralink stated that it is collaborating with national medical regulators to expand clinical trials to international sites in Q4 2026.
