    We’ve been able to stick an electrode to the outside of your head and pull electrical activity data from your brain without invasive open-skull surgery for a couple decades now. Neuralink hasn’t actually accomplished anything new except making this same thing way, way more expensive and way, way more likely to end in death of the patient.

      Those are all binary outputs, neurolink allows analog.

      Totally different goals, so no nothing else exists currently.
