Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So like attempted movement is me physically trying... to attempt to move, say, my hand. I try to attempt to move my hand to the right, to the left, forward, and back. And that's all attempted. Attempt to lift my finger up and down. Attempt to kick or something. I'm physically trying to do all of those things, even if you can't see it.

This would be like me attempting to shrug my shoulders or something. That's all attempted movement. That's what I was doing for the first couple of weeks when they were going to give me cursor control. When I was doing body mapping, it was attempt to do this, attempt to do that. When Nir was telling me to imagine doing it, it kind of made sense to me, but it's not something that...

people practice. If you started school as a child and they said, okay, write your name with this pencil. And so you do that. Like, okay, now imagine writing your name with that pencil. Kids would think, like, I guess, like that kind of makes sense. And they would do it. But that's not something we're taught. It's all like how to do things physically. We think about like

thought experiments and things, but that's not like a physical action of doing things. It's more like what you would do in certain situations. So imagine movement. It never really connected with me. I guess you could maybe describe it as a professional athlete swinging a baseball bat or swinging a golf club. Imagine what you're supposed to do, but then you go...

right to that and physically do it. Then you get a bat in your hand and then you do what you've been imagining. And so I don't have that connection. So telling me to imagine something versus attempting it, there wasn't a lot that I could do there mentally. I just kind of had to accept what was going on and try. But the attempted moving thing, it all made sense to me.

If I try to move, then there's a signal being sent in my brain. And as long as they can pick that up, then they should be able to map it to what I'm trying to do. And so when I first moved the cursor like that, it was just like, yes, this should happen. I'm not surprised by that.
