The only other thing I would say is more control over all the parameters that I can tweak with my cursor and stuff. There's a lot of things that go into how the cursor moves in certain ways. And I have, I don't know, like three or four of those parameters.
Gain, friction, yeah. And there's maybe double the amount of those with just like velocity and then with the actual dwell cursor. So I would like all of it. I want as much control over my environment as possible.
Yeah, yeah. That's, that's, that's what I want. I want as much control over this as possible. So yeah, that's, that's really all I can ask for. Just give me, give me everything.
yeah you mean like while i'm using it while you're using it like speech to text oh yeah or do you type or like because there's also a keyboard yeah yeah so there's a virtual keyboard that's another thing i would like to work more on is finding some way to um type or text in a different way right now it is um like a dictation basically and a virtual keyboard that i can use with the cursor
But we've played around with sign language fingerspelling, and that seems really promising. So I have this thought in my head that it's going to be a very similar learning curve that I had with the cursor, where I went from attempted movement to imagined movement at one point. I have a feeling, this is just my intuition, that at some point I'm going to be doing fingerspelling
And I won't need to actually attempt to fingerspell anymore that I'll just be able to think the like letter that I want and it'll pop up.
And then like going from letters to words is another step. Like you would go from, you know, right now it's fingerspelling of like just the sign language alphabet, but if it's able to pick that up, then it should be able to pick up like the whole sign language thing.
like language um and so then if i could do something along those lines or just the sign language um spelled word if i can you know spell it at a reasonable speed and it can pick that up then i would just be able to think that through and it would do the same thing i don't see why not after what i saw with the um with the cursor control i don't see why it wouldn't work but we'd have to play around with it more
Well, it was a couple weeks before it just happened upon me. But now that I know that that was possible, I think I could make it happen with other things. I think it would be much, much simpler.
Sure. Absolutely. Whenever they'll let me. Yeah.
so you don't have any concerns for you with the surgery experience all of it was um like no regrets no so everything's been good so far yep you just keep getting upgrades yeah i mean why not i've seen how much it's impacted my life already and i know that everything from here on out is going to get better and better so um i would love to i would love to get the upgrade
Yeah, there's a lot that's very, very cool about this. I mean, we're talking about the brain, so there's... Like, this is just motor cortex stuff. There's so much more that can be done. The vision one is fascinating to me. I think that is going to be very, very cool. To give someone the ability to see for the first time in their life would just be... I mean, it...
it might be more amazing than even helping someone like me. That just sounds incredible. The speech thing is really interesting, being able to have some sort of real-time translation and cut away that language barrier would be really cool. Any sort of actual impairments that it could solve with speech would be very, very cool.
And then also there are a lot of different disabilities that all originate in the brain. And you would hopefully be able to solve a lot of those. I know there's already stuff to help people with seizures that can be implanted in the brain. This would do, I imagine, the same thing. And so you could do something like that.
I know that even someone like Joe Rogan has talked about the possibilities with being able to stimulate the brain in different ways. I'm not sure.
i'm not sure what you know like how ethical a lot of that would be that's beyond me honestly but i know that there's a lot that can be done when we're talking about the brain and being able to go in and physically make changes to help people or to improve their lives so i'm really looking forward to everything that comes from this and i don't think it's all that far off um
I think a lot of this can be implemented within my lifetime, assuming that I live a long life.
Flip a switch like that, make someone happy. I think Joe has talked about it more in terms of you want to experience what a drug trip feels like. You want to experience what it'd be like to be on mushrooms or something like that. DMT, you can just... Flip that switch in the brain.
My buddy Bane has talked about being able to like wipe parts of your memory and re-experience things that like for the first time, like your favorite movie or your favorite book, like just wipe that out real quick and then re-fall in love with Harry Potter or something. I told him, I was like, I don't know how I feel about like people being able to just wipe parts of your memory.
That seems a little sketchy to me. He's like, they're already doing it. Yeah.
