I do think it could be possible to use an EEG to get ahead of a mouse click faster than the hands and perhaps cut off some milliseconds in delay.
But I don’t believe that Elon Musk’s Neuralink will ever offer anything of value to a non-disabled person. I only hope that in their attempts they create better interfaces for disabled people. Perhaps even get people waking again. For people who can already walk and use a mobile phone I doubt a brain implant will be much use. It’s hard to beat eyes and ears for getting information in.
