I would be moderately surprised if you could infer ECOG at 150 wpm via EEG. That would be roughly akin to claiming that, because you can infer water flow in an pipeline to Los Angeles from magnetometers welded to the pipe, you can do the same thing using a constellation of geosynchronous satellites.
There's a lot of things happened in between the pipe and outer space. Similarly, there's a lot of things happening between the arachnoid mater and the surface of the skin: innumerable liquid-solid interfaces of varying types being a major class of issues. The electric activity in the arrector pili, the galea, etc. Distance, bone, etc.
- blotter_paper 8y agoI didn't say "everything," this is kind of a side-tangent but in particular I imagine writing to the brain might be really difficult to do non-invasively while keeping per-write side-effects as low as invasive alternatives. I disagree with your projections of the future, and expect that geosynchronous satellites will be able to infer water-flow in a given (non-shielded) pipe within the next 30 years. I could be wrong.
