Jan 29 (Reuters) - The first human patient has received an implant from brain-chip startup Neuralink on Sunday and is recovering well, the company's billionaire founder Elon Musk said.

"Initial results show promising neuron spike detection," Musk said in a post on the social media platform X on Monday.

Spikes are activity by neurons, which the National Institute of Health describes as cells that use electrical and chemical signals to send information around the brain and to the body.

The patient, Noland Arbaugh, said during the stream, which was cast on Musk's social media company X, that the chip was "not perfect" but it had already added many improvements to his life, giving him the ability to play video games for hours on end without having to rely on his family members.
