Man completely paralyzed by ALS asks for a beer via brain implant

It’s still pretty slow, though. Just one character per minute. That means it would take him four minutes to simply say “beer.” More complex words would take even longer. A full sentence could take an hour.

But, yeah, there’s some amazing potential here. I can’t wait to see what this technology leads to in 10 or 20 years. Hell, imagine in a hundred years where people who would otherwise be paralyzed are instead fully mobile due to a system of motorized implants throughout their bodies and a brain implant to operate it.
