I didn't really know much about BCI at that point either. So I didn't know what sort of step this was actually making. I didn't know if this was a huge deal or if this was just like, okay, it's cool that we got this far, but we're actually... hoping for something like much better down the road. It's like, okay, I just thought that they knew that it turned on. So I was like, cool.

Like this is, this is cool.

Like this is, this is cool.

Like this is, this is cool.

Yeah. Yeah. I knew all of that, but it's all like, it's all Greek to me. I was like, okay, threads, 64 threads, 16 electrodes, 1024 channels. Yeah. Okay, like that math checks out. Sounds right. Yeah.

I know it must have been within the first maybe week, a week or two weeks that I was able to like first move the cursor. And again, like it kind of made sense to me. Like it didn't seem like that big of a deal. Like it was like, okay, well, how do I explain this? When everyone around you starts clapping for something that you've done, it's easy to say, okay, I did something cool.

That was impressive in some way. What exactly that meant, what it was, hadn't really... set in for me. So again, I knew that me trying to move a body part and then that being mapped in some sort of machine learning algorithm to be able to identify my brain signals and then take that and give me cursor control. That all kind of made sense to me.

I don't know all the ins and outs of it, but I was like, there are still signals in my brain firing. They just can't get through because there's a gap in my spinal cord. And so they can't get all the way down and back up, but they're still there. So when I moved the cursor for the first time, I was like, that's cool, but I expected that that should happen. Like it made sense to me.

Like it made sense to me.

When I moved the cursor for the first time with just my mind without like physically trying to move. So I guess I can get into that just a little bit. Like the difference between attempted movement and imagined movement.

Yeah.
