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

I would be like “don’t think about that, and that, and that”… and will reveal all my deepest darkest secrets in the first two minutes of test.

Replying to Bitter-Perspective13 (#337,816)

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.
