Nolan Arbaugh is the first-ever person to get a Neuralink implant, a groundbreaking technology developed by Elon Musk’s company. In a recent update, Nolan shared how his life has transformed seven months after his Neuralink surgery. He revealed that he spends around four hours each day at Neuralink. He is learning to control different body parts to perform tasks like clicking left, right, and middle, and he’s also practicing handwriting by imagining holding a pencil and outputting keystrokes.

Nolan’s journey is not just about technology, it’s also about personal growth and learning. “In my free time Eve (what I’ve named my @neuralink device) and I have been working towards improving myself in many different ways,” he said in an X post.

Currently, he dedicates three hours a day to learning French and Japanese. Also, he has decided to relearn math from the ground up in preparation for hopefully going back to school one day. He also spends at least an hour everyday reading.

He has also started creative writing with hopes of publishing his work someday, and he’s engaging in Bible studies and devotionals. Nolan is enthusiastic about returning to school. Also, he plans to possibly switch degrees and focus more on neuroscience to contribute his unique perspective to the field. 

“I still have a dream of starting a charity and even building my parents a home one day. I would like to stream more and be a better advocate and interact more with the community, those are things in which I am confident I can be better. But right now I’m just doing what I can,” Nolan added.

Nolan’s message was a heartfelt thank you to those who have supported him. “And thank you for supporting me in this journey. Y’all have made this experience for me unbelievably amazing. The messages I’ve received have made me cry in the best possible way, made me physically laugh out loud, and helped me grow as a person. I couldn’t be more grateful,” he said.

He’s looking forward to sharing more updates in the future.
