The implant, surgically placed in her brain, sends commands to the computer just by thinking.
This technology, from Elon Musk's Neuralink, helps people with paralysis regain digital control.
She had surgery last week and is the first woman to do this.
She's taking requests from people to create doodles on a computer.
