Noland Arbaugh is the world’s first human to receive a Neuralink brain computer interface, a device designed to bridge mind and machine. Some call it a brain chip. Others call it an implant. Noland calls her Eve.

A 2016 accident left him paralyzed from the shoulders down. In 2024, Eve reconnected him to the world. Using only his thoughts, Noland can play games, study neuroscience, build a business, and experience a level of independence he once believed was lost.

Today, as a keynote speaker, he shares his story with humility and humor, offering audiences a rare perspective on what it means to live as a cyborg in the modern world.

Noland does not just inspire. He challenges audiences to rethink the future of human potential.
