the guy behind this startup:
- (CW bloody photos) “I confirm the information published in the Daily Mail. On May 17, 2023, I performed by myself trepanation, electrode implantation, and electrical stimulation of my brain’s motor cortex. I needed it to test brain stimulation during lucid dreaming”

My dreams stay between me and myself, thank you very much. I don’t want some tech company knowing which fictional character I’m kissing lol

Original Cyberpunk 2020 rpg game that came in 1988 had that sidebar bit about people lending their brains (physically) for 5 years to became cybersoldiers, and that was presented as hyper dehumanising.
Actually if I remember it’s even worse: they can now use your brain waves from your sleep to make you do certain actions.
Like you could work/be productive while sleeping.
This just crossed my radar again and… it turns out this startup is not only into non-invasive EEG electrodes: the founder of it self-trepanated last year 😬
I edited the post to add two links.
