About this episode
Lee Marten can control things with his mind -- yes, really. After the former Vancouver police officer was diagnosed with ALS in 2025, he became one of the first Canadians, and just the 26th person in the world, to receive Elon Musk's Neuralink brain implant. It allows him to control a computer using just his brain. We speak with Lee and his wife, Lisa, about what this technology has meant for their family as his disease progresses.
