    Heads-up, there appears to be some astroturfing going around. This is not an impressive demo, I’ve seen better without brain implants. If anything, I’m more impressed that the test subject hasn’t died yet.

      Yeah, I’ve heard that they have technology that allows you to play Mario Kart with your hands.

      I’ve seen better without brain implants.

      Yes but I can drive a car without brain implants. Doing it with brain implants is the impressive bit.

      Really not quite sure what your point is

        We’ve been able to stick an electrode to the outside of your head and pull electrical activity data from your brain without invasive open-skull surgery for a couple decades now. Neuralink hasn’t actually accomplished anything new except making this same thing way, way more expensive and way, way more likely to end in death of the patient.

          Those are all binary outputs, neurolink allows analog.

          Totally different goals, so no nothing else exists currently.

        Reading comprehension? It’s obviously implied that I’ve seen better with OTHER neural sensors, not someone just playing normaly.

          Got a link to share? Nothing else can do analog inputs like neurolink can, so would love to see this tech that isn’t even been talked about yet that you’re spouting all over this thread.
