I’ve had parts of my body inactive due to peripheral nerve damage after an injury (peripheral nerves mostly always heal, so function came back), and I can tell you I would have easily opted into any experimental surgery that could restore function.
You don’t have to go far to find candidates, walk into any ER today and you’ll find trauma victims with irreversible nerve damage from a common car/motorcycle accident.
- beambot 6y agoI agree with your assessment: it's easier to find subjects with peripheral nerve issues. It gets progressively harder to find subjects as you move up the chain, as the risks compound quickly: peripheral > central > brain. As you can imagine, neural link is targeting some of the most invasive -- hence animal subjects.
