The following report is a blog post by Neuralink, published on August 21st:
Last month, Alex,* the second participant in our PRIME Study,** received his Neuralink implant (Link). The surgery, conducted at the Barrow Neurological Institute, went well — Alex was discharged the following day, and his recovery has been smooth. With the Link, he has been improving his ability to play video games and began learning how to use computer-aided design (CAD) software to design 3D objects. This marks another significant step towards providing a high-performance interface that will enhance the control of digital devices for people with quadriplegia to help restore their autonomy.
The overarching aim for the PRIME Study is to demonstrate that the Link is safe and useful in daily life, as noted in our last blog post. In this blog post, we share updates from the experience of our second participant across three key dimensions that support this aim:
- Out-of-the-box experience
- Repertoire of capabilities
- Thread retraction mitigations
Out-of-the-Box Experience
From the first moment Alex connected his Link to his computer, it took less than 5 minutes for him to start controlling a cursor with his mind. Within a few hours, he was able to surpass the maximum speed and accuracy he’d achieved with any other assistive technology on our Webgrid task. Similar to Noland, our first participant, Alex broke the previous world record for brain-computer interface (BCI) cursor control with a non-Neuralink device on day one of using the Link. After the first research session concluded, Alex continued testing the capabilities of the Link independently, using it to play the first-person shooter game Counter-Strike.
I’m already super impressed with how this works.
Alex, PRIME Study participant, said
Repertoire of Capabilities
Alex enjoys building things. Before his spinal cord injury, he worked as an automotive technician, fixing and tinkering with 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 so he could work on projects without needing to rely extensively on his support system. However, the level of control offered by his assistive technologies made this challenging.
On day two of using the Link, Alex used the CAD software Fusion 360 for the first time and managed to design a custom mount for his Neuralink charger, which was then 3D printed and integrated into his setup. We are working with Alex to increase his productivity with the Link by mapping intended movements to different types of mouse clicks (e.g., left, right, middle), thereby expanding the number of controls he has and enabling him to quickly switch between various modes in CAD software (e.g., zoom, scroll, pan, click-and-drag).
In his free time, Alex continues to use CAD software to turn his design ideas into reality. We hope that in time, the Link helps many people create in their areas of interest and expertise, and we’re excited to work with more people to help them reconnect with their passions.
Taking an idea, putting it as a design, and actually having a physical item as a finished product makes me feel like I’m building things again.

Alex also enjoys playing first-person shooter games, which generally require the use of numerous inputs, including two separate joysticks (one for aiming and the other for moving) and an array of buttons. Before receiving the Link, Alex enjoyed playing these games using an assistive device called the Quadstick — a mouth operated joystick with sip-and-puff pressure sensors and a lip position sensor for clicking. However, a key limitation of the controller is that it only has one joystick, restricting Alex to either moving or aiming at any given time. Switching from moving to aiming involves letting go of the joystick and then sipping or puffing into a separate straw to toggle the functionality. Now, Alex is able to use the Link in combination with his Quadstick to move and aim simultaneously, unlocking a more intuitive gameplay experience.
Just running around is so enjoyable because I can look side to side, and not need to move Quadstick left and right… I can [think about where to] look and it goes where I want it to. It’s insane
Alex added
Thread Retraction Mitigations
With our first participant, Noland, we observed a degree of thread retraction that temporarily reduced his BCI performance. The threads have stabilized, and the performance of Noland’s Link has since recovered — more than doubling the prior world record for BCI cursor control.
To reduce the probability of thread retraction in our second participant, we implemented a number of mitigations, including reducing brain motion during the surgery and reducing the gap between the implant and the surface of the brain. We discussed these measures in greater detail in our live update prior to our second participant’s surgery.
Promisingly, we have observed no thread retraction in our second participant.
Looking Forward
To further enhance our participants’ experience using their digital devices, we are continuing to expand the controls that are available to them. We are working on decoding multiple clicks and multiple simultaneous movement intents to deliver full mouse and video game controller functionality. We are also developing algorithms to recognize handwriting intent to enable faster text entry. These capabilities would not only help restore digital autonomy for those who are unable to use their limbs, but also restore the ability to communicate for those who are unable to speak, such as people with neurological conditions like amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
Additionally, we plan to enable the Link to interact with the physical world, allowing users to feed themselves and move more independently by controlling a robotic arm or their wheelchair.
The Link is a big step on the path of regaining freedom and independence for myself.

AUTHOR COMMENTARY
As impressive as this, many of us with prudence and serious precautions can see this will not end well.
[19] And John calling unto him two of his disciples sent them to Jesus, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another? [20] When the men were come unto him, they said, John Baptist hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another? [21] And in that same hour he cured many of their infirmities and plagues, and of evil spirits; and unto many that were blind he gave sight. [22] Then Jesus answering said unto them, Go your way, and tell John what things ye have seen and heard; how that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor the gospel is preached. [23] And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me. Luke 7:19-23
Neuralink is just another imitation by Satan to discredit, emulate, and mock the miracles performed by Jesus Christ. Satan and his ministers cannot instantaneously do all these things themselves, so he just elevates “science” as the people’s god and inserts an imitation of what the Almighty God can do.
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope.

Elon told everyone ‘who’ is he with the ‘costume’ he wore for Halloween 2023. ’nuff said.
This is a whole lot of NOPE!!!
This is prophecy being fulfilled, this is what’s needed for the mark of the beast technology to be fully put in place.
God, please get us out of here!
Even So, Come Lord Jesus.
We’ll be out of here Andrew. If the corrupt, higher up Jews and the Roman Church establish their system before the catching up, they’ll be cutting off our heads. Not to be completely negative, we have hope in the Lord. He can also preserve us and get us through the dangerous times coming.
Proverbs 1:33 But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.
The Jews involved with Rome are so blind, they don’t even realize the Roman Catholic system hates them with a passion:
“A certain Abbe Cros asks for a bedside mat made of Jewish skin which he would be able to stamp on morning and evening; a young priest would like to crush Reinach’s nose with his heel; three priests would love to slap the filthy face of the Jew Reinach”.
“On the 15th of July 1898, prize-giving day at the College of Arcueil, presided over by Generalissimo Jamont (vice-president of the Superior Council of War), Father Didon, rector of the School Albert-le-Grand, gave a violent speech in which he advocated using violence against the men whose crime had been the courageous denunciation of a military error…
“Must we”, said the eloquent monk, “let the wicked go free? Certainly not! The enemy is: intellectualism pretending to despise force, and civilians wanting to subordinate the military. When persuasion has failed, when love(!) has been ineffectual, we must brandish the sword, spread terror, CHOP OFF HEADS, make war, strike…”
“This speech seemed to be a challenge thrown before all the sympathisers of that condemned wretch”.(92) But how many of them have we heard since then? These calls to bloody repressions, coming from gentle clerics, especially during the German occupation!
As for the cry of hatred against intellectualism, we can find the perfect echo to it in this declaration from a certain general: “When someone speaks of intelligence, I draw my revolver.
To crush the thought by force is a principle of the Roman Church which has never altered.” – The Secret History of the Jesuits – Edmond Paris (PDF), pp.103,104.
