The brazillian expert Miguel Nicolelis said this shit was doomed to failed from the start. The fucking scientists knew every fault of this shit implant but no one listened
What were the reasons he cited? I am not a brain surgeon or tech expert
I'll tell what I remembered from some interviews he did in Brazil: He research this tech for years and did some implants 20 years ago, now he and others believes that a non-invasive solution is the goal to cure paralyzed patients. In 2016 world cup he showed a paralyzed guy using a exoskeleton to kick a ball. The invasive chip not only have no real benefit but also has a huge chance of failure because of how the brain moves in the skull. He's very critical with neuralink and calls it bad sci-fi.
