I'd also doubt this is the "first brain-computer interface that allows the human user to navigate a 3D space". Note: "real BCI" does not need to be bidirectional and may be accomplished via read-only EEG (as ones eyes and ears will be recei

I've always squirmed when anyone uses the term "Generation X". Seems to have always meant ... "we're going to need a label for this younger demographic so we can market garbage to them". We don't understand them because we're too focused on
