This positive news comes after the first patient ([Noland Arbaugh]) suffered major issues with his implant, with only 10-15% of the electrodes still working after receiving the implant in January. The issue of electrode threads retracting was apparently a known issue years prior already.

That sauce (linked article) is from the last update back in May. I haven't heard a thing about his situation since then.

I think they're keeping a lid on it because it's not going well. They don't want to dissuade future guinea pigs.
