I find it disarmingly cute how you always feels compelled to insert some bizarre kernel of impenetrable absurdity into your posts.

These new technologies are all pretty cool, although none of them really represents any new understanding. I'm not sure of any practical benefits to this... speaking with my mouth was never much of an issue. I suppose for mutes it is very promising.

I just find it hilarious when you find any possible sentence in a person's post to baselessly argue with, without so much as mentioning a word of what the person actually said. That level of passive and vague insult takes skill, and is humorous on numerous levels.

Recording dream journals from in dreams would be one example, or for paralysed people, people with locked-in syndrome. Although they were all mentioned in the article and previous posts so I'm not surprised you were oblivious to that.

Every step that's taken towards true BCI represents a massive shift in the trajectory of the human species, with BCI being (in my opinion) an actual singularity in the sense that history, technology, and the species will be irrevocably changed.

Are you kidding? There could be tons of practical benefits of this.
