While we’ve heard much talk of the supposed superpowers Elon Musk’s Neuralink project might enable, it hits differently to see it working for yourself in a game. Musk’s current chip-on-brain testing project (“PRIME”) has had two participants so far, and it looks like the second one’s wasted no time getting to gaming on PC.

Neuralink’s “Link” is a brain-computer interface (BCI)—a device that gets surgically implanted into the brain and is intended to allow one to control digital devices by neural activity, ie, thought. According to the latest Neuralink PRIME study progress update, Alex, the second participant, has not only been making fast use of the Link for 3D print designs in CAD software Fusion 360, but he’s also been using it to play Counter-Strike 2
