        So you would be fine with them “spending the money on developing fancy thought chips instead of a cure” if the implant had similar complications/survivability rates as cochlear implants?

        And cochlear surgery, while quite safe, isn’t exactly the most minor surgery. They’re going pretty deep into your head to put that stimulator gizmo on your auditory nerve behind your inner ear.
