Currently they've been having him control a cursor. He can left and right click it.

He can perform as good as he could before the problem now it seems, so if that's the case that extra bit rate wasn't needed for that task.

What this probably means is he won't be able to do as much as they learn more about it.

Maybe 1 year in the 2nd patient with full fidelity is able attach it to a robotic arm and fetch themselves a drink, but Nolan while he can click as good, won't be able to do that.

Also if they fix it eventually, as they didn't say never, just not yet, they'll never know if that discrepancy occurs.
