The 1 bit limit doesn't look like a technological barrier, but a we-don't-feel-comfortable-cutting-into-human-brains-for-research barrier. Of mice and monkeys, the story is more than a bit different: https://www.nature.com/articles/srep11869

This was a great read thanks, I found a good precursor study on brain-to-brain interface (BTBI) using intracortical microstimulation (ICMS), if you are not familiar with this research it's a good place to start: https://www.nature.com/articles/srep01319
