    I’m curious if this could work for prosthesis/ BCI while being implanted in an arm so as to avoid the issues of brain surgery.

      Probably not. To get input from the brain, you need to place a sensor near it. But this device doesn’t get inserted into the brain, it sits in the scalp.

      There are plenty of non-invasive brain reading technologies though, like EEG and near-infrared spectroscopy. They’re just big and bulky with low resolution.
