    These are far more sensitive, allowing the user better speed/precision.

    But once they lose 85% of the sensors, all that goes out the window.

      Makes sense but imagine 10, 20 years in the future from now? I doubt there be enough difference to ofset the risks by then.

      Should we really rush out an invasive implant that barely works rather then perfect what we will naturally want to use in the future anyway?

        We (as in humanity) can continue to develop both EEG caps and direct implants. The technology is young and there’s no telling what side benefits and additional functionality either one can have.

        And the implant, much like early EEG devices, barely works for now. Imagine what they’ll be capable of 10-20 years down the line.
