100 Days Later, Neuralink’s First Human Patient Is Now Using His Brain Implant to Play Slay the Spire - IGN

The first human recipient of a Neuralink brain-computer interface has used the link to play Slay the Spire, and a number of other games during his time off, though the implant suffered a temporary drop in performance after a number of electrode-studded threads 'retracted' from the patient's brain.

    Yes, and the lead being buried in OP being the headline (and most of the rest of the article around the paragraph you quoted):

    Neuralink’s first implant partly detached from patient’s brain

    Some of the threads connecting the chip to the brain began to retract. The Elon Musk-owned company did not explain why

    The patient, Noland Arbaugh, underwent surgery in February to attach a Neuralink chip to his brain, but the device’s functionality began to decrease within the month after his implant.
