      Personally, I am deeply skeptical of brain-computer interfaces for consumer use cases, because existing physical interfaces such as screens and keyboards do not represent a meaningful bottleneck to our use of technology

      The bottlenecks are rather in the affordances offered by end applications, and in our own minds. Even typing would not be meaningfully faster with a 100% accurate BCI (which is total science-fiction today)

      And information intake (orders of magnitude harder to pull off) most definitely couldn't be any faster than plain reading. Our current 5,000 year-old tech is already maxing out our understanding bandwidth. Which is evident in the fact that speed reading simply doesn't work

      If screen + mouse + keyboard is good enough for a 300 APM pro-gamer, it's good enough for you. The friction of physical micro-movement is just not significant compared to the speed at which the mind itself moves

      The mind is a slow beast, with its most basic reactions occurring on a timescale of 100ms. Grasping nontrival abstract concepts requires entire *seconds*

          I think it's more about processing information and having it available when you need it, to augment our human brains. I think of it a bit like "transactive memory".

          I’m more excited about the work being done w/ prosthetics. Enabling two way feedback to pts so they can “feel” things they touch in incredible. The cooler stuff is around enabling additional senses like “feeling” infrared rays using a prosthetic hand.

          And more complex emotions like frustration or jealousy can last weeks, months or even years.

          I would like for the comp to read my mind. Press step over while debugging. Blow up some variable. Write that block of text. Yes, macros and code completion but they require you to learn them shortcuts and press them! Sometimes you loose focus in those miliseconds.

          I would love to be able to use the cellphone without looking at it. For the consumer is not about raw speed probably. But convenience.

          My desire for new interfaces isn’t speed, it’s pain. I’ve had tendinitis issues since I was a teenager from typing.

          Data in (to the human brain) is dramatically higher bandwidth then out- 300 APM still doesn’t let me share even an unfocused blink at a mood-rich scene and music, or a detailed CAD model, or a team dynamic.

          Humans are a huge obstacle because we simply can't process as quickly as the tech tools we use. However, consumers are very particular and the tiniest improvements can make a noticeable difference to the UX, and we should take that into account. - Zach
