This 100%. There's just too much electromagnetic interference. EEG picks up facial movements most of the time, and greatly attenuated large-scale neuron oscillations at best. That's why neuroscientists studying brain functionality put electrodes in rodents rather than put EEG devices on them. This gives them way higher-fidelity data.

The first step is making intracranial BCIs safe, the next step is to make them useful. They have much more promise than external BCIs, but until they're safe, people will continue to doubt them.
