    What they shown so far does not sound impressive. There is a twitch streamer that uses EEG device ans translates signals to button presses. She has beaten elden ring with that. From “achievement” point of view what they have shown here is not that special

      It’s still very impressive. The EEG she uses only reads general thoughts: e.g. thinking about pushing a boulder. She can only really do specific actions with that: there’s no level of analog control (how much should this move), it’s just a single action (fire a fireball). The brain chip is likely much higher fidelity and therefore can read much finer signals. All the credit goes to the researchers, of course, who’ve spent the last decade researching and fine tuning this technology.

        Then they should be doing a demonstration that shows that. I don’t think Mario Kart generally requires fine tuned signals.

              On/off isn’t the same as being able to control the input incrementally.

              EEG and neurolink are two different techs accomplishing quite different goals in the end,
