Me: wow, i can't wait until lightweight robot arms with direct brain interface control becomes accessible to the average consumer!

Also me: ...So, what would you use one for?

Me: well, using a keyboard and scrolling all the time is kinda tough, so I'd use my robot hand to do that!

Also me: ...You'd use your direct brain interface... to control a robot arm... to interact with the computer's hardware interface... which interacts with its software...

Me: ..y-yes....

#brought to you by me 5 days ago spiraling and researching BCI robot arms #and also by me 2 minutes ago realizing how redundant that would be for me #couldnt i just use a bci to interface directly with my computer?? if eeg can control a robo arm cant it control a cursor? #why suffer trying to find the most ergonomic position to type and look at a screen at the same time? just get a screen and a headband! #im still gonna be stuck waiting until that becomes accessible tho :( #shitpost #friendship ended with neural implants. non-invasive implementations are my new best friend
