I think BCIs are super exciting. Humans have such high bandwidth in terms of input; tons of information is interpreted by our nervous system every second. Yet in terms of output, we are relatively poor; we can only type a few words a minute! This article suggests we could one day work 'like digital octopuses' but I'm naturally dubious, do you think it's possible as CTRL-labs propose that we could entirely rewire our nervous systems' output to let us operate computers as if we had multiple hands?

Still got a bit to learn though, so many adjectives in the first few sentences, felt very 'writery'. A good editor and she'll be on track!
God, this was a well needed read, feel like this myself often!
