How will devices like neuralink be able to tell the difference between thinking about doing something, and actually intending to do it?
Just listened to the 8.5 Lex Megapodcast. It was fascinating but this was a question I developed.
For instance if in some hypothetical future where I have a neuralink connected to a robotic exoskeleton. If I was thinking with full force about lifting a heavy weight and visualizing it in my mind but not actually intending to do it (in the same way an athlete might visualize their performance), how can a neuralink tell the difference between these two states of mind?

why is neuralink only attached to one tiny part of the head?
shouldnt it be all over your head for better brain coverage? seems like youd get more data/stimulation that way or we start by attaching threads like that and the functionality develops with because of neuroplasticity? what am i missing about how this tech works?
hoping for a really cool neuroscience lesson!

Brother is applying for the prime study
My brother has been a quadriplegic for most of his life due to an accident he had in college and he is getting ready to apply for the prime study. I do not have overly high expectations, but I wanted to make this post for anyone that has advice or helpful information that will help my brother on this journey. If you have any questions please feel free to ask. We are in the early stages so there is a lot I still do not know. I will update as I get more info.

Stupid question, can Noland use Neuralink with his eyes closed?
Today I saw an interview with a neurosurgeon who was asked about the recent advances of Neuralink. The neurosurgeon replied that despite not knowing all the details (which personally annoyed me a bit), in his opinion, Neuralink has to be linked to a eye movement. In other words, according to him, Noland doesn’t move the mouse with his thoughts, but the command is executed based primarily on the position of his eyes or his gaze.
Regardless of this opinion, his response has sparked my curiosity:
Can Noland move the mouse on his computer while his eyes are closed/blindfolded?
