What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-06-28

Wait for stronger evidence

Why
Strongest evidence of the three (peer-reviewed Nature Neuroscience, concrete latency metrics, working real-time demo, plus a parallel UC Davis Nature study), but it is a single-subject research result requiring invasive implants and missing prosody — high scientific maturity, low deployment readiness, so wait for replication.
Next
Watch for multi-participant replication, prosody/paralinguistic decoding advances, and progress toward less-invasive (sEMG / non-penetrating) form factors before considering any applied interest.
