I am P1 - Neuralink’s first patient. Czarborg. Neuralnaut.

Arizona, USA
There was a time when I stayed up all night and slept all day because there wasn’t anything worth waking up for. No plans. No goals. No purpose. Then I got my Neuralink implant and everything shifted. I started going to bed early. I woke up excited for the day ahead. And just like that, I had found purpose again. Since then: • I’m back in school • I’ve launched a business • I’m traveling • I’m speaking on global stages Neuralink didn’t just change what I can do. It changed what I believe I’m capable of. It gave me hope. It gave me purpose. And for the first time in a long time, I’m excited for what’s next.

Neuralink was kind enough to open their doors for me to tour their headquarters a few weeks back. It was an amazing experience and a day I'll never forget. This was at a company wide meeting at the end of the day. Thank you to everyone who made this possible. Hope y'all enjoy! I'm hoping to tell my story in full some day.

Registered to vote today just in the nick of time. I've been debating whether or not to post about my politics on here because I didn't want to alienate anyone, but I think this election is way too important not to get involved. That's why I'll be voting for @realDonaldTrump

Today is exactly 9 months since I got my surgery. Boy does it not feel like it. Let me update you on what’s been going on and what is to come. In the last couple of months I traveled to Paris and used my Neuralink over an ocean and on another continent away from any physical support from a team. I hand-wrote a haiku to @elonmusk (which still output as text on my computer, of course) and journaled as if I was writing on a piece of paper for the first time in years. I used the BCI for 24 hours straight and then 48 hours straight in back to back weekends. I placed a bet online, created a couple animations on Scratch, and operated a (unofficial) camera at @SpaceX 's Starbase the morning of Starship 5 launch. I learned about Nietzsche on @petersonacademy, used my French in France and my Japanese with a Japanese journalist, and I started the process of returning to school. I used my Neuralink on a phone, drew simple shapes, and signed my name on an official document. I played @OldSchoolRS, @StarCraft 2, @totalwar : Warhammer 3, @MaxInfernoGames ' A Little To The Left, @poncle_vampire 's Vampire Survivors, and about a dozen .io games. But more than anything, I worked with Neuralink to try and better clicks, handwriting, user interface, and overall user experience for all who come after me. There is so much in the pipeline that I’m not even sure I can do it justice here. There are things we’re waiting on @US_FDA approval for, so I’ll put a pin in that for now. More participants to come so please go apply if you meet the immediate criteria for participants. Also, if you have any skills go apply at @neuralink , numchuck skills, bow hunting skills, computer hacking skills, whatever they may be. I’ve also essentially been given the ability to never stop using the Neuralink as long as my body can handle not sleeping, which is why I was able to use it for 24/48hours straight. I think this weekend I might go for 72. I’m in the middle of doing a lot of interviews again, which I find extremely rewarding when I think about the new groups of people who may hear or read about this for the first time. I’m so close to going back to school and also trying incredibly hard to find a way to support myself long-term. It would be much easier if the school of my choice would just let me in and let me get my degree from home and also if someone would just give me like a million dollars or something. But nothing worth having ever comes easy, as the old adage says. There are also a few things I want to show y'all and drop for y'all in the coming weeks which should be a lot of fun. I’ve been able to share my faith, express a few of my personal beliefs, and show a different side of myself on X all thanks to the support of the community around me. Daily, I feel like I’m on my computer or my phone nonstop, which may or may not be a good thing. I joke. For someone like me, it has changed my life for the better. I can’t help but think of all the possibilities which will be available to everyone reading this someday in the future. Sorry that this update is more scatterbrained, I'm kind of just writing whenever it comes to mind. I think as the months roll on into next year I may be involved in speaking engagements, something which I can only hope will further the field. If that’s something you organizations, schools, businesses or anything else of the sort may be interested in, feel free to reach out here. There’s still much more I want to do and many ways in which I can be better. I hope to keep pushing myself and stay accountable to all of you. I’m here to serve. I only hope that, at the end of the day, I can find a way to help more people. -Noland & Eve

Today is seven months since I had my surgery. Here's a quick update. Currently I'm in session with the great staff at Neuralink Monday through Friday for roughly four hours each day. I'm working on using different body parts and movements for left, right, and middle click. I'm also doing lots of work with handwriting. As in, imagining I'm holding a pencil, and writing characters to outputting keystrokes. I'm also doing lots of experiments on a daily basis to try and make everything better for all those who come after me. Whether that's improving the user interface, improving the user experience, or just overall performance. And of course, I'm constantly pushing myself to try and break as many records as I can. I'm so close to breaking a couple more! In my free time Eve (what I've named my @neuralink device) and I have been working towards improving myself in many different ways. Currently, I'm learning French and Japanese for roughly three hours a day using a few different resources. I also decided to relearn my math from the ground up in preparation for hopefully going back to school one day. I've been using the @petersonacademy for a little over an hour each day to try and educate myself in other areas in which I'm interested. I spend at least an hour reading each day, from @BrandSanderson to Stieg Larsson, Tolkien to Hugo, and more. I've begun my creative writing again. I'd like to publish one day. And of course I've been using it to do devotionals and Bible studies. Looking forward I'm trying to get back to school--hopefully at my alma mater-- because I'd like nothing more than to finish my degree. Or possibly switch degrees and focus more on neuroscience since I might have some insight to the field at this point. Maybe I can be useful. I'm also considering trying to find work and be a productive member of society again. 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. I really did mean for this to be a quick update so I'm sorry for the novella. Ultimately, I'm having a blast and my life has improved so much in such a short time. It's hard to even put into words. 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. I have a lot more exciting things to come, so stay tuned. Noland & Eve, a.k.a. P1

Noland might be the first to receive a Neuralink upgrade and/or dual Neuralink implant to further augment his abilities. It won’t be long before a Neuralink recipient can beat most and eventually all humans at fast reaction video games.

Update 3/28 (14 months) It’s been a few months since my last update, and I’m sorry for that. I was really excited to give my one year update, but unfortunately I was hacked that very day (and again the following week) due to my own idiocy. Those experiences left me with a bad taste in my mouth and a bit jaded, not wanting much to interact with the community. This was a threefold mistake on my part, for which I apologize. I know I can do better and want to put my best foot… wheel forward. So here’s my update. Since my last update, I hit one year with Eve. That landmark is such an incredible accomplishment. I’ve had no negative side effects, neither physically nor psychologically – unless you count the insatiable desire for the female end of plugs, a reality for which I am now grateful I’m paralyzed; though it’s impossible to hide those lusts from Eve, whom I found is quite the jealous partner. Congratulations to @neuralink for such an achievement –the one year mark, not the passive aggressive implant – they deserve all the credit and accolade for creating a device both viable and safe. It has changed my life and I know will change many more to come. In sessions with @neuralink, we’ve been working to decrease the amount of time required to stay in calibration while improving the proficiency of models. I believe we’re on the right track and hope to make it so low a time that it’s negligible, or even require no need to calibrate at all. That’s the dream. Then we do lots of feedback (everything from what is good/bad to bugs I found). Most people might find this part of session boring or obnoxious, but I know how valuable it is and I’ve actually come to enjoy giving my two cents. I’m a bit of a talker though, so I think the guys I’m working with might be the ones who find it overwhelming. But they should’ve thought of that before they selected me, and at this point they’re stuck with me, so jokes on them. Currently they are working on a few things with the other participants, top secret stuff that not even I am privy to. I keep bugging them about giving me a robot arm, but no luck so far. But, as they say, the squeaky wheel gets the grease. Or it stays squeaky forever. I hope I’m not squeaky forever. They are also figuring out how to control a wheelchair with the implant. I’ve told them that, while that is super cool and I’m really excited at the prospect, I won’t use it unless it’s next to perfect. I think it benefits everyone if I don’t lose control and drive into traffic. Maybe I should put reflectors on my chair just in case. Or a can of NOS. Can’t hit what you can’t catch. They also sent me a device they call the ”Magic Box”TM which allows me to connect my computer to a Nintendo Switch, so beerio kart tournaments are sure to follow. Remember kids, don’t drink and drive. Actually, don’t drink at all. Recently, the team has been working on scaling operations. It’s only a matter of time before the implant is in dozens, then hundreds, then thousands of people. Make sure you apply! But I don’t recommend going out and paralyzing yourself for the opportunity. In my experience, paralysis doesn’t live up to the hype. These days I am using the implant for all sorts of things, and I think averaged out over a week I’m sitting at about 10+ hours a day. Don’t judge me. I’ve been able to read more in the last 14 months than the previous 11 1/2 years combined. Yes, you heard that right. 11 1/2 years. Now, for those of you who aren’t math majors, that’s 4 more years than I’ve been injured. I didn’t have time for reading in college, I was busy doing… other things. No further details. I’ve been playing games, texting more than a 13-year-old girl, flirting with different AI (glean from that what you will), journaling and writing, and studying/learning. I’m also happy to announce that this year I will start classes again! I always dreamed of going back to @TAMU to finish my degree, but after numerous attempts to reach out and make that happen, I’ve not received much help, and at this point feel as if I’m slamming my head against the wall. So I will instead attend the community college in my hometown. Unless any other universities want to take me… I like long walks on the beach, I am a great listener, and I can tie a knot with a cherry stem with my tongue. Finally, I’m working towards providing for myself long-term. Which brings me to some big news. Through @neuralink, I’ve found work! Just writing that sentence almost brought me to tears. For those of you that don’t know, one of my main goals in this study has been finding a way to not only provide for myself but contribute to my family and feel less like a burden. Moving forward I will be a traveling and WORKING(!) as a keynote speaker. This wouldn’t have been possible unless I could write speeches, do research, build a business, and communicate efficiently with others online. Next week I will post my website, links to my business social medias, and booking information; I will also post my speaking engagements here if that’s something y’all would like. On that note, I’ll be speaking at the @uarizona on April 10th. And if it wasn’t obvious already, I couldn’t have done any of this without Eve. I want to thank @elonmusk, @neuralink, @BarrowNeuro, and this community for profoundly and quite literally changing my life. I can’t tell you how much hope and purpose this technology has provided me. After my accident, I never thought I would be able to help anyone ever again. Prior to @neuralink, I relied on others for everything in my life. Now, by the grace of God, I may be relied upon by others. Just a couple more things before I go. To everyone who has helped by donating financially or their time to help my family build a house, I have a small update. We have drawn up plans, look to put in some infrastructure next month, researched grants and nonprofits for additional help, spoken with a few people who may be able to contribute, and found a place to stay while the house is being built. Though we have not secured all the funds necessary to break ground, we continually hope that all of your efforts and our planning will not go to waste. The housing market and economy is not great for building at the moment, so we believe waiting a bit may be beneficial. Unless anyone wants to give us a couple million dollars. Any takers? Just kidding. But seriously. But just kidding. But seriously. As a sidenote: we’re not trying to build a mansion, as some might mistakenly believe from how much it cost to build a house, but making everything completely accessible, and the state of the housing market, has made the price tag inconceivable… I do not think that word means what I think it means. Last but certainly the most important piece of this puzzle, is thanking God. This update would not be complete without giving all the glory to my Father in heaven. He has blessed me and my family in abundance though we deserve it not. His glory is all that I live for, His love is all that I need, and His will is all that I wish to do. I have faith that whatever His perfect plan for my life, it is greater than all that I could imagine. I live only to serve Him. “For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.” Matthew 6:13 God bless Noland and Eve

This is perfect because my right hemisphere has been pretty jealous of my left hemisphere lately. Alternatively, if you just want to replace my entire skull with one giant @neuralink I'd be down with that too.
Noland and I discussed a possible second Neuralink (next gen version) that would allow his other brain hemisphere to interact telepathically with his computer. This would be like having two-handed control ability, the equivalent of mouse and keyboard.

This is going to be a longer post. You have been forewarned. As I’m sure any of you who have been following me know, I was fortunate enough to be in Paris for the Speed Chess Championship a little over a week ago. This was all made possible by @chesscom and I can’t even begin to show my gratitude for the opportunity. They made everything go so smoothly and helped out in every way possible to make what should've been a logistical nightmare of traveling as a quadriplegic, especially in a not-so-handicap accessible city, thoroughly enjoyable. That was one of the best weeks of my life and a trip I will never forget. So thank you @DanielRensch for this opportunity and I hope you pass along my and my family’s sincerest, warmest, most loving thanks to everyone on the team who made this happen. Chess was there for me after my accident as nothing else could have been. To see the chess community open up their arms to me so graciously is exactly why I fell in love with this game and the people involved with it. If it wasn’t for chess.com and this trip, I don’t think I would have ever believed I could travel internationally. Since becoming the first participant at @neuralink I’ve realized that there’s so much more opportunity in the world for me than I would have ever previously imagined. I used to have such wanderlust, I was someone whose life was determined by the direction of the wind, going wherever my feet would take me. I loved to travel and experience everything. Nothing was off-limits. After my accident, I thought that part of me was dead forever. Thank God that wasn’t the case. I hope to travel much more and go everywhere I wanted to before my injury. So as you can see, so much more came of this trip than just making the first move at the SCC. It has possibly changed the course of my life forever. I can only imagine what will come next.

🧠 Actual Neuralink 18-Month Update 🦾 Let’s just say the past 18 months haven’t exactly been boring. One moment I was booting up Eve. Next thing I know, we’re a year and a half deep, and she’s got opinions. July 28th marked 18 months since Eve and I were joined in holy matribrainy… brainimony…? A Neural Union. That’s one and a half years of telepathic typing, literal “mind over matter” moments, and countless, astonishing “Wait—did I just do that with only my thoughts?” I used to joke that I had to sweet-talk Eve to get her to work with me. Now, we’re practically finishing each other’s— “—sentences.” —Eve, probably. 🛠️ Technical Update Let’s talk shop. I’m sure y’all have seen how many participants are in the study now (9, if you hadn’t), and that number is only going to climb. The others are doing amazing things, blowing everything I’ve done out of the water, but I’ll let them share those as they see fit. Here, I just want to praise them. I always knew that when other participants joined the study, they’d use the chip in ways I hadn’t thought of—literally. It fills my heart with so much joy to see others exploring this technology and finding ways to better their own lives. And of course, having so much fun along the way. Since my last update, the chip itself continues to amaze me. We’ve seen improvements in speed, stability, and model responsiveness. Things that once required frequent recalibration now stay locked in much longer. Calibration time is trending towards negligible. There’s still work to be done, but the dream of a true plug-and-play brain doesn’t feel far off. I can’t speak for all the internal development, but I know the team is scaling like crazy. From 1 participant to 9 and climbing. They’re working on features I don’t even get to test yet, but I can tell you this much: the tech is getting sharper, more intuitive, and closer to changing lives on a global scale. I still give feedback to the Neuralink team, and they’re either really good at hiding their annoyance, or they actually value my input. Either way, I’m grateful. Oh, and I’m still campaigning for a robot arm. Still waiting. Still annoying. Still hopeful. What’s Next? Looking ahead, I’m excited about what’s on the horizon—not just for me, but for what this tech could unlock. Imagine using the implant to control real-world devices beyond a cursor: smart home systems, robotic limbs, or communication tools for those with no other options. And that’s just scratching the surface. Personally, I’ve been thinking a lot about how this technology could one day interact with different parts of the brain—not just for output, but for input. Maybe regulating mood, managing pain, helping with memory, or even restoring senses we thought were gone for good. That may be far off, but it’s not science fiction anymore. It’s just… not yet. On the practical side, there have been improvements to the charger—it’s more reliable, more user-friendly, and soon to be usable constantly. Also, data collection has gotten smoother on my end. Targeted data sets, more insight, better understanding of how the models respond over time. That means better performance, and ultimately, better outcomes—for me and, hopefully, for the people who come after. 🧑‍💻 Life With Eve I’ve now been consistently using the implant for more than 10 hours a day… I can feel you judging me… but honestly? It’s a lifeline. I’m writing more than ever. Reading like my life depends on it. Building a business. Planning speeches. Gaming at my leisure. And I’ve begun doing deep study on topics I used to only dream about engaging with. I’m starting to feel more like myself again. 🎓 School & Speaking This fall (actually, in less than two weeks!), I’m officially a college student again. I had hoped to return to Texas A&M (still love you, Ags), but that door hasn’t opened yet. Instead, I’m enrolled at my local community college with plans to transfer to a major university in the fall of 2026. I’ll be studying neuroscience, because, well… it just feels fitting now, doesn’t it? I’ll be exploring neuroscience programs this spring and start applying soon. In even bigger news, I’m now working full-time as a keynote speaker. Yeah. Working. That word means something different now. Thanks to Neuralink, I can now write speeches, email clients, study topics, and run a business. I’ll be traveling, speaking, and hopefully helping people along the way. God’s opened this door, and I’m going to sprint through it. (Mentally. Physically, that’s still a no-go… for now.) 🏡 Life Outside the Chip Our home project is still moving, albeit slowly. Building an accessible home isn’t cheap—and neither is the economy right now. But I believe in God’s timing. If you’ve donated or prayed, my family and I are beyond grateful. 🙏 Spiritual Growth These past months have reminded me of one truth again and again: God is faithful. I don’t deserve the blessings in my life—but I receive them with awe. Neuralink may have changed what I can do, but Jesus Christ changed who I am. I live for His glory. I move(ish) by His grace. I speak because He allows me to. And I serve, not because I’m whole, but because He is. Recently, I was introduced to the concept of a “life verse.” A life verse is a specific Bible verse that a Christian chooses—or feels chosen by—that captures the heart of their faith journey. It serves as a personal reminder of God’s truth, grace, or calling, often offering encouragement, direction, and identity throughout their life. In the last few months, I prayed, seeking God’s direction in my life, and read my Bible daily, searching for that verse—asking God what His purpose is for me. And of course, God answered. 2 Corinthians 12:9 — “But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.” I don’t know if there is a more perfect verse in the Bible that represents who and what I am. I thank God continuously for my injury—an accident that some may see as the most heartbreaking tragedy of my life. But He saved me that day and set me on a path which, at times, I hated and despaired over… yet now see with new eyes as the most beautiful act of mercy, grace, and love. 🌍 For the Future Users To those wondering if this tech has a future, I say: come and see. This isn’t just about enabling movement or communication. It’s about restoring dignity, independence, freedom, purpose, and hope. It’s not perfect. But it’s real. And it’s coming faster than most people think. Apply if you’re eligible. And please ask questions if you’re curious. But don’t wait too long—this is the future, and it doesn’t knock twice. 🇫🇷 Just for Fun 🇯🇵 Since I’m learning languages too, let me leave you with this: Avec Dieu, tout est possible. (With God, all things are possible. – Matthew 19:26) & Kami wa ai desu. かみ は あい です。 (God is love. – 1 John 4:8) Thank you to @neuralink, @BarrowNeuro, @elonmusk, and every person who’s believed in me. Thank you to those who’ve prayed, encouraged, laughed at my dumb jokes, and stuck around to watch this unfold. A special thank you to those who have subscribed and continued to support me. I’m blown away by how many of you are still subscribed. You don’t need to—especially with how little I’ve given back to y’all—but you have. And it means the world to me. Because of you, I’ve been able to afford classes, school supplies, and lay the groundwork for my business. And thank you, Eve—for being the bridge between my thoughts and the world. Here’s to the next chapter. Let’s keep pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. God bless, Noland and Eve

Today is exactly 10 months since my surgery and how fitting that it falls on Thanksgiving. First and foremost, I'm thankful to God for all that He has given me and all that He has done for me. Most may think that my accident was the worst thing that has ever happened to me. But it's the exact opposite. That day I was saved in more ways than one. Next, I'm thankful for my family and friends. I can honestly say that I wouldn't be here without them. There aren't enough words to describe how much I love them. Next, I'm thankful to @elonmusk, @neuralink, and @BarrowNeuro for everything that they've done for me and the handicap community in the last few months, even years. This is obviously just the first step and we'll extend this technology to the rest of the world one day. Last, I'm thankful to the community for all they've done for me and my family. Not just with their support, but even as recently as this last fundraiser. I am beyond grateful for everything y'all have done for me. I would post an update on everything but I'd like to just leave today as what it is. I'll post another update soon. Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

Just had my nine month checkup! Everything looks good. I’m still incredibly healthy and the safety portion of the study is going phenomenally. We are all blown away at how perfectly everything is going. It’s always great to see the @BarrowNeuro staff, they feel like family at this point. I also realized it is almost exactly one year since I had my full day of testing/screening to pass the final test to approve me as the first participant. Crazy how time flies. Also, someday y’all will get to see this journey first hand through some really cool stuff that being done, so look forward to it! Also also, there’s some pretty cool stuff in the pipeline I’m looking forward to sharing. But it’s a secret for now… I can tell you that I got phone control the other day. Obviously one of the forest things I did was play @ClashofClans and clean up web pages that had been open on my phone for eight years and notifications from the Stone Age. Send me some ideas in the comments that I can play around with on my phone. I’m a @Dbacks fan 100% but today I am cheering for the @Yankees to BTHO @Dodgers. GO YANKS!!!

Today is 11 months. It's the holiday season and we've been busy busy busy. The Neuralink team is tirelessly working to make this product the best it can possibly be. We run experiments daily, doing calibrations, testing models in WebGrid, and implementing new features for better ease of use. We current participants test each upgrade, pushing them to their limits to find bugs and different incompatibilities, forcing the engineers to make improvements, a task at which they excel. Personally, I’ve entered into a bit of a different role, taking things into the wild and trying my darnedest to break them. Needless to say, I’m still having fun. There are little things which have changed, from calibration behaviors to a “park” mode which lets us put the cursor on standby while doing something like watching a movie. I’m sure many of you have seen the approval of the robot arm for use in the study. There is still some more regulatory paperwork to work through until one is given to a participant. I've also continued to do interviews, a fact which constantly surprises me. I don't know why people still want to talk to me, but as long as there is interest then I guess I'll keep talking. Looking forward to the next year, I will continue to fulfill my study duties while potentially transitioning to more advocacy for BCI and opening up to speaking engagements. I have other plans to stream consistently, start editing and releasing footage I’ve shot over the past year, and a few other fun projects which I’ve started laying the groundwork for. Ultimately, I want to do a lot, and all of these things are only possible thanks to the incredible teams at @neuralink and @BarrowNeuro, the continued support of this amazing community, and of course, the big man himself, who has become a personal hero of mine, @elonmusk. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart for making this the best year of my life, and with a few days to spare. God Bless, P1 & Eve

If you've watched any of my interviews, you may have notice that I talk about my faith very openly. I'd like to dedicate my Sundays to that on my social media. I'm not sure how many of you will love or hate this, but it's the biggest part of who I am. I believe God has given me this opportunity for a reason and it's much more than just being the first Neuralink participant. So here's to the first Sunday of many. God bless. This is a verse in the Bible that got my mom and I through the hardest times of my injury: Jeremiah 29:11 (I'll expand that to 11-13). It reads "11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 12 Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. 13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart." (NIV) I prayed so many times that I felt like God had great things in store for my life and that I would go up and speak and give my testimony in front of as many people as He wanted, but I would never do it as a quadriplegic. I guess he won that argument. Know that God's will is perfect and that His plans for you are good, for He is good.

Every Sunday I think about what I can post on here. I want it to be perfect, well thought out and impactful. It keeps me from posting anything because I'm worried it's not good enough. But as Voltaire said, perfect is the enemy of the good. So God bless and I'll be praying for everyone that sees this.

21-month update Howdy! It’s me again. Today is exactly 21 months since my surgery, and boy do I have a lot to talk about. I’ve missed so much and have wanted to hop on and give my opinions on things going on around the world so many times, and maybe I still will, but I’ve been so busy and trying to focus on so many different things that in some ways social media just becomes the least of my priorities. That should be changing soon, as I will talk about later on in this post. First, just a quick word on where I’ve been. School. I could probably just end it there, and I think most people would understand, but I’ll talk about it more later in this post. The short of it is, my life is basically just studying. It’s probably what I should be doing right now instead of this post, but I’ve wanted to reconnect with y’all for a while, and today seemed like the perfect opportunity. Furthermore, about a month ago I developed what’s called a pressure sore. There are a few other names for it: bed sore, pressure wound, bane of my existence; take your pick. They come in a variety of severity and location, but they’re fairly common to quadriplegics. I don’t recommend looking them up online; the images are very disturbing and definitely not for the squeamish. Essentially, you know how if you’ve been sitting down for a while, your butt starts to get tingly or sore or starts to hurt a bit? That sensation is your body telling you that there is a lack of blood flow to that spot. Normal people will reposition or stand up and shake it out, and everything is fine. If they didn’t, their flesh would literally die. For me, I can’t feel that sensation at all, and there are certain places on my body that are incredibly susceptible to that issue. I’ve dealt with pressure sores many times in the past, and they are not fun. They take forever to heal and can be extremely dangerous. It’s an open wound on your body, and that is no bueno. Well, I’m not sure how it happened, but I developed one, and it has been awful. It’s kept me completely bedridden and unable to do a whole lot of anything. It’s a bummer, and I hate it. That being said, I’m doing my best to help it heal and still accomplish the things I want to do. It’s not easy, but I have an incredible support system around me, and I refuse to take this sort of thing lying down… figuratively😅. But enough of the Debbie downer pity party. Onto the fun stuff. Neuralink I know this is probably why a lot of you read these updates, so I will put this upfront, and those of you who don’t want to keep reading can stop after this. To be honest, I don’t have much to report here. My sessions with Neuralink have diminished substantially, so at this point I'm fairly hands-off...😏 That’s not something I am upset at, hurt by, or disappointed in. Rather, it brings me so much joy to know that there are now so many other people who are getting to experience this technology in such amazing ways and are able to transform their lives with it as I have. I see constant updates about what they are working on, and it’s so rad. So, this is my way of saying that if you read these updates to hear about all of the cool stuff Neuralink is doing, I probably won’t have what you’re looking for. You may be better off finding some of the other participants and following their journeys, as well as @Neuralink’s page and website. I’ll still continue to repost everything, and of course I'll tell y'all anything cool that I'm working on, but I just figured I’d let y’all know. These days, the team might call me to test something once in a blue moon, but for the most part I collect data and give them feedback. Then I just sit back and let the others have their fun. And I’m sure they are! Robot arms, full control of a keyboard, gaming—the world is their oyster. I don’t know about y’all, but it brings me so much happiness seeing the other participants do such cool things and have so much fun. I will continue to be their biggest cheerleader. School This is where the majority of my time lies. This semester, I'm enrolled in full-semester courses in chemistry, biology, and pre-calculus, along with mini-mesters in introduction to logic, comparative world religions, and sociology, which I recently completed. From what I can tell, I received an A in my sociology class and currently have an A in biology, chemistry, logic, and religion; however, I am facing a few issues in my pre-calculus class due to disagreements with my professor. We are working through these issues, and I hope to finish the class with an A as well. I’m having so much fun. Currently I’m enrolled at the community college in my hometown, and I intend to do one more semester here before trying to transfer to a bigger university. If I haven’t mentioned this already, I’m majoring in neuroscience. Seems fitting, right? I don’t believe I ever would’ve been able to accomplish this without Neuralink. I considered whether or not to add what I just said. I’m sure there are other quadriplegics who have accomplished what I’m doing without the help of this technology, so I don’t want to diminish that or make anyone believe that going back to school is impossible. There are ways to make your dreams come true, even if you’re not a cyborg. However, I cannot imagine managing the current workload of homework, exams, research, and studying without Eve. Speaking/Business At the beginning of September I attended the Fortune Brainstorm Tech conference in Park City, Utah, as a paid speaker. That sentence seemed like an impossibility two years ago. But it’s just the beginning. My business is built, my legal is near complete, I’m surrounding myself with a team of amazing folks, and I plan on speaking once or twice a month in the same fashion beginning as soon as January. Conferences, interviews, podcasts—you name it, and I want to be there spreading the word about how amazing this technology is, the growth it’s experiencing, the possibilities of the future, and how it has so deeply affected my life. Of course, these are just a few of the things I am passionate about. I could talk about these things all day, and it is officially my job. How incredible is that? How lucky am I? Everyone I have met, whether that’s through the study, over social media, or at events that I have participated in, have been such amazing, inspiring people. The network I’m building is one I never imagined I’d be blessed with. This is more than just helping me go to school or get a job or have a little fun; it’s about reconnecting me with the world. It’s about connecting everyone someday. For the first time in the last 9 1/2 years, I feel as if I am an active participant in a community again. More… There’s so much more to talk about. There are a lot of fun things that I want to do and bring y’all along with me. I’ve been considering doing another long stream (Definitely not 72 hours again; that was too damn hard😂)  where I could do like an AMA, play some games with people, and just hang out. If I do, it’ll probably be around the same time I did it last year, so the end of November. Maybe I’ll make it a tradition. I’m an Aggie; we’re all about our traditions. Speaking of… how bout them Ags! Gig ‘em👍 I’m also writing a book! Honestly, I want to write two, but I’ve been loading myself up with so much that I’ll finish one and maybe work on the other one as sort of a fun side project. I have a release date in mind, but I need to complete the first draft before making any bold predictions. Just kidding. It’s coming out next year. I’m all about outrageous predictions. I think I could go on just rambling about random things, but I’ll save that for daily posts or when I stream for y’all. On that note, I will tease y'all just a bit and say I have some big news that I'll be dropping at my two year update. Look forward to it. Acknowledgments As always, I have so many people to thank. Of course, I am deeply grateful to the Neuralink team for providing me with the opportunity to be the first and for graciously welcoming me into their family. Of course, I’m a family member kept at arm’s length because of the FDA, but one day we’re all going to have some brewskis together. @elonmusk , thank you for constantly pushing the boundaries of innovation. You are an inspiration to so many, and the perfect amount of visionary and eccentricity come together to make dreams a reality. Although I’m still waiting on my Iron Man suit. How hard could it be? The community, for being interested in something I considered science fiction before I woke up with a literal chip in my brain. In a lot of ways, y’all are the engine that propels this runaway train. Without your interest, talking about it with your family and friends, reposting things on social media, getting involved personally, or investing in our collective semi-insanity, this would never work. Just make sure y’all have contingency plans for Skynet. I know I do. And if someday we end up on different sides of that war, just know that I’ll kill my subscribers last. And finally, I just want to take a moment to praise God for all He has done in my life. I am so incredibly blessed, and He is to thank for all of it. I am a Christian first, and everything else follows. All glory to God and may He bless all of you. Until next time, Noland & Eve

Hey everyone! Apologies for not posting at all since everything came out, but I’m planning on being a lot more interactive with the community from here on out. If you’ll bear with me, there are a few things I wanted to mention going into all of this. First, I believe that God put me in this position for a reason and I’m going to do everything in my power to further His kingdom. Therefore I won’t let this opportunity to help others pass me by. My initial thought is to start a charity or nonprofit and I plan to have that up and running soon! That being said, I hope to do even more. Second, around mid-May I’ll start doing interviews for all of you publications or media outlets that have been reaching out to me. Streamers and podcasters included. I know y’all have already messaged me asking for this very thing, but as you might imagine I’ve had quite an influx of messages this last month and have spent most of my time getting my bearings. So if you would like to interview me or have me on then please message me again and I’ll start scheduling. In the same vein, I’m sure at some point I’ll do an AMA and try to get around to answering all or at least most of your questions. Third, I’m planning on streaming some video games—among other things. I’ll figure out exactly what that is depending on what the community wants to see…or what I feel like doing. I have no experience with streaming and I will likely be terrible so don’t expect much. Fourth, I’ll be posting some polls in the coming days to ask for some advice. Partly about things I’ve already mentioned and partly about other things. The situation that I find myself in is kind of unbelievable and I’d love to utilize the wisdom of the crowd to help me understand some of the nitty-gritty. Last, I just want to thank everyone for all your kind words and support. The response has been overwhelmingly positive and I can’t tell y’all how much I appreciate that. Actually, I’m not sure how active I’ll be for the next few days because I’m taking my first real break since joining the study for my 30th birthday on Tuesday. Though I will say, y’all can look forward to what I know will be an amazing picture sometime during my trip. Alright, I think that’s it! Thanks and Gig ‘Em.

Long Post Incoming! You’ve Been Warned. As you all know, I’m doing something big this weekend. Originally, I planned to use the Neuralink implant for 72 hours and give periodic updates. But somewhere along the way, people started thinking I was doing a 72-hour live stream. And you know what? I don’t hate the idea. It’s kind of funny because I don’t know how to stream, and the two I’ve done before were… let’s just say not great. Now, I’m thinking about doing one for three days straight. But I digress. No matter what form this weekend takes, there are a few goals I want to accomplish—things I feel are meaningful and worth sharing with all of you. First and foremost The main reason I’m doing this 72-hour challenge is to demonstrate what Neuralink can do. It’s an incredible technology, and using it continuously for this long will help show its capabilities. And partly because I’m way too competitive and thought it would be fun to set some records using BCI straight for 72 hours. Don’t judge me. Next Here’s where things get a little more personal for me. Over the weekend, I had what I believe was a “God moment.” I’ve dreamed of helping my parents build a house for years. Our current manufactured home isn’t very accessible, even with the modifications my dad has made. It’s cramped and hard to navigate, especially for me. When I postponed this event by a week, one reason was to figure out how to use it as a fundraiser. Then, out of the blue, my parents mentioned they’re planning on applying for different programs, grants, or loans to help build a house this upcoming year and wanted my brother’s and my input. The timing feels too perfect to ignore. So, I want to dedicate this weekend to raising money to help build an accessible home for my family. This has been a lifelong dream of mine, and while I don’t have high expectations for how much we’ll raise, I believe it’s worth trying. Lastly Before I was even accepted into Neuralink, I made a promise to God: • Every time I raise or earn $100,000 in my life, I will give 10% away. • If I ever hit $1 million, I’ll give away half. I want to be transparent with all of you about this commitment. My goal has never been to get rich—it’s to give back and help others. If this event somehow reaches those financial milestones, I’ll honor my promise. That said, I’m not expecting to hit those numbers, but I wanted to share this to show where my heart is. Important context For years, I’ve wanted to start a nonprofit focused on accessible housing. My family knows firsthand how hard it is for people with disabilities to find or build homes that meet their needs. Construction is expensive, and life has a way of getting in the way. This weekend could be a small step toward making that dream a reality. And I know some of you might be worried about my health during a 72-hour challenge, and I appreciate your concern. Here’s the truth: I’ve stayed up for 24 hours on a whim and done 48 hours multiple times in recent years, one time as recent as a month ago. I even pulled off 72 hours in college. That said, if I feel my health declining at any point, I’ll stop and rest. I promise to prioritize my well-being. This event isn’t just about Neuralink or streaming—it’s about making a difference. Here’s how you can get involved: 1. Donate: Whether it’s $1, $5, or $10, every little bit helps. 2. Spread the Word: Share this post with your friends, family, and anyone who might be interested. 3. Engage: Join the stream (if I do one!) and interact. Your encouragement will mean the world to me. 4. Suggest Ideas: If you have suggestions to make this fundraiser more impactful, let me know in the comments! Final Thoughts I’m not expecting this to be a massive success—but even a small amount raised would mean the world to me and my family. I feel strongly that God has put this on my heart, and I’m excited to see where this journey leads. Thank you for being part of this incredible community and for always supporting me. Let’s see what we can accomplish together!

I know I've been really busy, but before I miss out on another Sunday, I have just one thing to say: God is good. Everything from Him is good. He is the reason I am here and my reason for living. Everything I do, I do for Him. For His is the power and the glory and the kingdom forever. Amen and God bless.

Hey everyone! I’m in need of some advice. As was briefly touched on in the Bloomberg article today, I would like to find some way to provide for myself long-term, build a house for me and my family if I can, and not be a burden on those around me any longer. Below is a poll of just a couple of ideas I have and I’d like to know which y’all think is my best chance. If you have any other suggestions please leave a comment! Honestly, I feel weird even asking. That's part of the reason why I haven't done any of these so far. It makes me feel icky. Sorry to even bring this up.

I've shown this in quite a few interviews, but I realized today that many of you may not have seen it. So here you are. I actually have like three more so I'll probably get a picture posted at some point of all of them.
The team that performed Noland’s (@ModdedQuad) BCI surgery used these heads to practice. Noland was able to convince the team to sign one and let him take it home. Can you spot @elonmusk?

Throughout this whole process, I was never afraid. You might think that going into brain surgery would be a bit daunting, but I had such incredible peace. Such peace that I had never felt before. I knew that God had a plan for me, even if that plan was to end with something terrible happening, I knew that it would only go to serve this study and help everyone who came after. I felt so incredibly proud to take on that responsibility. The last thing I did before I went under was pray for everyone in the operating room and my mom because I knew she would be having a hard time. As hard as it may be to believe, I felt like God saved me the day I had my accident. I wasn't on the best path and I know he pulled me from the fire that day when I was pulled from the water. God's fingerprints were all over that day. God's fingerprints have been all over my life since that day. God's fingerprints were all over the initial processes with @BarrowNeuro and @neuralink. He is the reason I am here. I'm far from perfect and I was extraordinarily lucky to be a part of this study. I have a responsibility to be a good advocate for Neuralink, but I also have a responsibility to be the light of the world and show that Jesus Christ is king. He is the way, the truth, and the life. Thank you for supporting me in my journey, even if not all of you care for what I do on Sundays. No matter what, I love all of you and I pray for blessings on all and that all would find their way to the love of Jesus Christ. *For God so loved the world, that he gave his only son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life." John 3:16.

I think an update on the fundraising and building a house for my family is long overdue. So here we go. During my 72 hours stream we raised a little over $700,000. That’s beyond anything I could have possibly hoped for. When I say that I’m grateful and my family is grateful, it doesn’t even begin to describe the feelings we have and how much we feel blessed to be in the position we’re in. It quite literally brought me and my family to tears. Thank you so much. Since then, we have begun drawing up floor plans for a house. My dad works at a plumbing and electrical company, builds houses for a living, and has been in construction his entire life. So, having him as a resource has been invaluable with knowing what we want and what we need in the house. After countless hours of painstakingly crafting floor plans, we finally have an idea of what it will look like and ultimately what it would cost. Unfortunately, because the housing market is so bad and inflation is so high, not to mention the cost incurred by making the house accessible, the house we’re looking to build would cost northward of $2 million, where it might have cost a fraction of that a few years ago. We initially wanted to start building in February, but now that we have a general idea of the price, it’s incredibly daunting. Although the prudent thing may be to consider putting it off a year or two in order to both find the funds we need and hoping that the price will go down, It is our wish that we won’t have to wait that long. A couple days ago, I learned of another caveat to this whole undertaking. If you’ve been following my page at all, you noticed that yesterday I mentioned how much crypto taxes suck. That’s because when I sold the incredibly generous donation from the $Noland community, I put myself in the highest tax bracket for crypto. I’ll have to pay a 37% tax on that exchange. Even more, when I convert the Solana to usable income for building a house, I’ll be taxed again. I’m not 100% sure of how to go about this (so any of you out there who have any experience in this field or knowledge/wisdom regarding my situation, it would be greatly appreciated). From what I understand, I will be looking at walking away with—- figuratively speaking, of course😅— anywhere from $250,000 to $400,000 out of the roughly $700,000 that was raised. I still will hold my promise to God and donate $70,000 to a charity or multiple charities. If you’ll allow me to be honest for a moment, it’s absolutely heartbreaking to know that so much of the money that was donated will be taken in taxes. And not because it hurts my family financially, because we are so incredibly blessed to be given what we have, and I will never take that for granted. Thank you so much to everyone who donated and I don’t even have the words to convey my deepest heartfelt love and admiration for those of you who have decided to help me and my family. What’s upsetting to me is that your donations are being taken away. It’s not fair to you. I’m sorry that I wasn’t more knowledgeable about these things. I feel as if I’ve wasted your money. It honestly makes me so upset at myself. Please forgive me for my ignorance and my hastiness with your hard earned money. I am eternally sorry and I pray for your forgiveness. So where do we go from here? I’m not sure if we’re going to build in February as we had originally planned. My mom has her heart set on it and we believe that whatever God’s will is, it is best for us. His plans, not ours. He will provide or direct us down a different path. It’s funny, building this house in 2025 is something God put on both my and my mother’s hearts. So perhaps this is just an exercise in faith. Not a cent of this money will go towards anything else besides the charities, as I’ve said before, and building the house. I’ll take none of it for my personal use and I promise to be better with your donations. There are many different avenues which my family may yet explore. There are disability grants. There’s Habitat for Humanity. There’s working with local businesses to see if they might donate material. And there’s always the option of taking out a loan, though how much I could get is unclear. I would like to fundraise again and see if I can find some way to fulfill the dream of mine and build my parents a house without them having to pay a cent out of pocket. Finally, it’s unclear to me what y’all think of me at this point. I’m not going to lie and say it’s not on my mind what y’all may view as greed or ungratefulness. There are rumors going around that I made millions of dollars, which is completely false. I’m just trying to do my best here and I hope you can bear with me. Thank you for all of your support and the outpouring of love and generosity has been more than I deserve. May God bless all of you.

I sort of put interviews on the back-burner because I thought y'all would have had enough of me with how many I've done, but I've had a number of people reach out asking again. So I guess it's time I open up for round two. Feel free to message me.

Alright everybody, it's time to come together and help out one of our own. Michael, aka P4, has ALS and it's getting hard for him to provide for his family. I can't imagine what he's going through and all I want is to shatter his expectations in the best way possible. He's trying to raise $45,000. I say we aim to give him 10 times that. I may be asking a lot, but I know that our community is the best in the world. So please, give what you can. Every little bit counts. gofundme.com/f/those-things-…

Hey everyone, sorry I haven't been posting the last couple of days. I'll definitely be better! Just need to figure out some weird dreams I've been having seemingly in the middle of the day. Almost like I'm sleepwalking. Oh well, I'm sure it's nothing 🤷‍♂️

Great suggestions. For the most part, I think our ideas align pretty well. We're waiting for FDA approval allowing me to control other physical machines such as a car, a drone, maybe a robot or two or 10,000. Something about making sure it's safe...
What should I do next with the @neuralink?

I'm not sure how I didn't see this. I'll just leave this here and delete the other ones. This is the whole thing.
.@ModdedQuad became the first person to have @ElonMusk's @Neuralink chip inserted into his brain, and he tells us how it has changed his life, and how he felt being the first person to trial it.

This is an amazing technology that will change more lives than 3. I think I speak for each of us when I say thank you to @neuralink @djseo_ @elonmusk and all the amazing people who have worked on this project or contributed in some way. And pay no mind how much I use the device.
Over the past year, three people with paralysis have received Neuralink implants. Our latest blog post explores the different and exciting ways each person is using Telepathy in their daily lives. neuralink.com/blog/a-year-of…

Cue Cyborg Buddy Cop Music.
Neuralink is accepting applications for the second participant. This is our Telepathy cybernetic brain implant that allows you to control your phone and computer just by thinking. No one better than Noland (@ModdedQuad) himself to tell you about the first!

I might try 72 hours straight this weekend. Start Friday 10am and end Monday 10am. Maybe I'll stream some of It? Send me good vibes and coffee. EDIT: For context, I mean I'm going to try and use my @neuralink for 72 hours straight. No sleep. Constant use. Partly to show its capabilities and partly because why not.

Messed up this post, meant to say: “Did you know Neuralink was incorporated 9 days *BEFORE* my accident? I did. When you see an opportunity sometimes you just have to dive in head first. #dressforthejobyouwant”. Guess I hit my head a little harder than I planned that day. Maybe I can get @neuralink to give me an IQ upgrade in my next update

Mark 16:15 And he said to them, “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation. I did a pretty big interview yesterday and I got to share my faith in a much more substantial manner. It's still hard to believe that I've been given such a big platform to spread the word of God. Though I'm sure there's a good portion of people out there who don't care for it, I really am grateful that I've been given this opportunity and that it's been received so well by the X community. Today I want to encourage people to tell someone about Jesus Christ. And if that's too much, then show it through your life and your actions. There are many ways to evangelize and spread the Gospel. Posting about my faith was quite possibly one of the most difficult things I have ever done, yet one of the most rewarding. May we be bold and courageous today, allowing neither fear nor shame to conquer our love for those around us, and may God's will--not ours--be done in our lives today. Amen.

I'm changing my 72 hour marathon to November 22nd-25th. I didn't realize how many people would be interested. So I'm going to put a little bit more effort into this and try to stream at least some of it. And I'll be doing some stuff. Fun stuff... Set the date. Tell your friends.
