Dual implant

A dual implant is two devices placed in one person, for example one in each side of the brain or one in the brain and one in the spine.

Two implants could record from more of the brain or add a second function. In November 2025 Elon Musk shared a report that Noland Arbaugh hopes to receive a second implant below his spinal injury to help restore leg movement (IBTimes).
