The BCI Paradox
A recent study published in Nature found that current brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) can achieve typing speeds of 50 to 60 words per minute.
This means that paralyzed individuals can communicate at a rate comparable to slow typing. But it also means that their thoughts are experienced as lag. We’ve created a technology that lets paralyzed people experience their own thoughts as lag. They get to feel what it’s like to be a dial-up modem.
