I also have RSI and it stops me from being a productive programmer, playing any sort of video game, and completely ruined my life for a couple years. If I get really good sleep I can use the computer for a couple hours without any pain at all but normally I'm relegated to only using my hands for a little bit each day otherwise I'll injure them. I tried using voice to text but then I injured my vocal chords using it. Physical therapy and Rehabilitation is slow and I doubt I'll ever be able to have the full use of my voice and hands again. Having a BCI would improve my quality of life immensely.

Have you tried strength training? Do you use a tenting split keyboard and vertical mouse? Do you have a good chair, decent posture, and a desk at the proper height? Those things solved my RSI.

Yeah, I was in a similar place at one point. Check out the book in this thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6099623 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6099623. The book is: https://www.amazon.com/Mindbody-Prescription-Healing-Body-Pain/dp/0446675156 https://www.amazon.com/Mindbody-Prescription-Healing-Body-Pa... I don't know if it was the book, a placebo effect, or something else, but I got better after reading that.

>Having a BCI would improve my quality of life immensely. Current BCI tech is nowhere near the fidelity of non-BCI control methods (e.g. eye tracking). If you're serious about it, look into them.
