I let Elon Musk put a chip in my head… here’s how it’s changed my life

Paralysed from the shoulders down, 30-year-old Noland Arbaugh relies on technology to make his life easier.

He has a power wheelchair, which he controls by blowing or sucking through a straw. His remote-controlled mattress will sit him up and keep ripples of air circulating at all times to prevent pressure sores building up.

A motorised lift gets him out of bed, while voice-controlled technology around the room helps him control lighting, his fan, TV and sound bar.
