    This is nothing short of stunning, had no idea anyone was even close to this sort of interface. And it’s only an 8-bit input! Fuck me, I would have made a (totally ignorant) guess of at least a couple of thousand sensors.

    Hoped for a video. :(

      it’s 256 electrodes, yes, but the article doesn’t say whether those electrodes are simple digital signals or if each one has some analog range they resolve. Even if it’s 100% binary, the tresholding (what level of neural activity is considered a 1 or 0) could be adaptive.

      This is amazing technology. I can’t imagine how it would feel to have your ability to speak and even sing back after losing it.
