Thank you for agreeing to this IAmA on reddit, and thank you for volunteering to be such a pioneer in this field. Here are my questions:

  • How much capability will your current implant give you? For instance, will you ever be able to 'upgrade' to touch feedback, or more dexterous control without additional surgery?
  • Can you control fingers individually, or do you expect to be able to?
  • how much control do you have over the 'force' of the hand? For instance, could you pick up an egg without cracking it?
  • How long will this implant last?
  • I would imagine it would be possible to use the implant to control things beyond this arm, for instance letting you move a mouse/type on a keyboard with no actual mouse or keyboard involved. Have you discussed any possibilities like that?
