Hi Ian, congratulations on the successful surgery! I wish you all the best! This is more a question for the technical team, in a human hand you can move the thumb in all sorts of directions and pivots and move the fingers in different planes as well, how far off from fully realistic hand movement is the hand currently? What are the current limitations of the hand and is this down to the hand itself, the chip, the understanding of the brain, the difficulty of pinpointing the precise points etc etc. Also secondly, is the chip capable of reading ALL of the associated signals for hand movement, or is that still too early to fully determine? Well done to you all, great work, so good to see humanity progressing like this in our own lifetimes and even better for you being part of it!

Man this stuff is so amazing. The best thing is knowing that you're able to get results even though so much of the science surrounding it is so new (neuroscience especially), this is just the beginning of how far things will go. Well done again to all of you and well done and good luck to you Ian!

My girlfriend is completely normal in all ways except she has a few weird language problems:

She says Valinna instead of vanilla - (she can say Va-Ni-LLA - But not vanilla)

She says Cuncumber instead of cucumber

She says Burber King

There are others.

What's going on?
