I can too. I put my hand on the input device and the signals my brain sends translates that into the movement of the mouse to a specific location on the screen.
Not to brag or anything, but I actually upvoted this comment using nothing but my brain waves attached to an input device
Yeah, but you’re probably not a quadriplegic or have ALS.
This is something that has been possible for a decade or two with our invasive brain surgery. Just using a modified EEG. This is not a revolution it is old technology with the added risk of brain surgery.
The old stuff I saw around twenty years ago that was actually good was pretty invasive. I think I saw research on Duke doing this with monkeys around 2004 or so. Also I didn’t say it was revolutionary, I’m rejecting the belittling of any advances in technology just because I have the ability to click a mouse with my fully able body.
Can this ability be disabled remotely, if the patient doesn’t pay whatever subscription fee is attached?
Excellent question!
There is no fee, but you may black out only to awaken surrounded by the bodies of political and personal enemies of Elmo. Its called Super Happy Fun Mode.
If it doesn’t continue to receive software updates/support I would almost hope it can be disabled. Like what happened with that bionic eye company recently.
Hello, and thank you for your interest in our product!
To reduce the go-to-market time, our engineering team focused on the core product first. This means we don’t have a way to remotely disable the implant itself. But don’t worry about incurring additional costs - we have specialized teams to disable the patient while our engineers are hard at work implementing this much-requested feature.
Best regards,

Bullshit, if it’s coming from Elon.
