It's also just like a fatigue thing, like a muscle fatigue, but without actually moving your muscles. It's very, very bizarre. And then if you try to stare at a body part or think about a body part and move for two, three, four, sometimes eight hours, it's very taxing on your mind. It takes a lot of focus. It was a lot easier at the beginning because I wasn't able to

like control a tv in my room or anything i wasn't able to um control any of my environment so for the first few years a lot of what i was doing was staring at walls and so um obviously i did a lot of thinking and i tried to move a lot just over and over and over again do you never give up sort of hope there no training hard essentially yep and i still do it i do it

like subconsciously and i think that uh that helped a lot with things with neuralink honestly it's something that i talked about the other day at the all hands that i did at neuralink's austin facility welcome to austin by the way yeah hey thanks man i i went to school hey thanks thanks man the the gigafactory was super cool i went to school at texas a&m so i've been around before um so you should be saying welcome to me yeah welcome to texas yeah i get you

Um, but yeah, I was talking about how a lot of what they've had me do, especially at the beginning, um, well, I still do it now, um, is body mapping. So like there will be a visualization of a hand or an arm on the screen and I have to do that motion and that's how they sort of train, um, the algorithm to like understand what I'm trying to do. And so it made things very seamless for me, I think.

Yeah. Yeah. I don't know if other quadriplegics, like other paralyzed people, give up. I hope they don't. I hope they keep trying because I've heard other paralyzed people say, like, don't ever stop. They tell you two years, but you just never know. The human body's capable of amazing things. So, I've heard other people say, don't give up.

I think one girl had spoken to me through some family members and said that she had been paralyzed for 18 years and she'd been trying to wiggle her index finger for all that time and she finally got it back 18 years later. So like I know that it's possible and I'll never give up doing it. I just I do it when I'm lying down like watching TV.

I'll find myself doing it kind of just almost like on its own. It's just something I've gotten so used to doing that. I don't know. I don't think I'll ever stop.
