There are reasons it's hard, but first let me meet you on the conceptually, no, it's not like doing brain-machine interfaces where you have no idea what's going on.
Right, because it's very like end of river.
Exactly right.
It is true that your motor cortex projects to your spine, the spine projects to your wrist.
The muscle is driven by electricity when you move, and that's an aggregate signal of neurons.
Those are the cells in your brain that fire electrically and cause you to be you.
But to meet your point, what's coming down the line here is not
your pancakes that you had for breakfast.
It's the stuff that you do to move your hand.
And so in that sense, it's an applied problem.
The body has simplified it quite a bit by the time we get to the wrist.
That's right.
The challenges of it are, how do you get something to work on every single person when they put it on the first time?
That's a really hard application problem.
Because it has been determined that people won't have the tolerance to let it learn from it for some period.
The consumer doesn't want a learning phase.
Yeah, we call that personalization.
So we, so far, have not gone down that road.
We just have a general model.
You put it on and it works.
