Noland Arbaugh Biography

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. But Arbaugh calls her Eve.

A 2016 accident left Arbaugh paralyzed from the shoulders down, but in 2024, Eve reconnected him to the world. With nothing but his thoughts, Arbaugh can play games, study neuroscience, build a business, and live with a freedom he once thought was gone forever.

Today, as a keynote speaker, he shares his story with humility and humor. He gives the audience a rare look into what it truly means to be a cyborg in the modern world.

Arbaugh doesn’t just inspire, he reshapes how audiences see the future of human potential.
