I’d be interested to compare this to an adult who is brand new to typing on a keyboard (if you could find one!).

What’s the typing speed and error rates over time as the subject practices? How do these compare to the progress with the BCI?

Conversely, T5 is 65 years old and just adapting to a completely new way of communicating at retirement age. Comparing that to the neuroplasticity of a far younger subject, I can see a high chance of this outperforming mobile typing. 10 fingers, I'm not so sure.
