I feel like I would unintentionally say some messed up shit if this was hooked up to me

Yeah, makes me wonder if you could choose what is being shown on the screen or if it just put all of your thoughts on there.

Yes, it is connected to Brain on speech.api instead of thoughts.api.

Based on past work I've done with external EEG caps (not implants), I would imagine this prices requires training before brainwaves can be interpreted as words. E.g. the subject thinks the word "hello" as brain activity is recorded, and later the computer tries to fuzzy match current brain activity with previous records to identify the correct word (or image).

If that process applies with this implant, you'd have to very intentionally focus on a pre-trained word before it would show up on the screen.
