Reply to comment by Caffeine_Monster in An ALS patient set a record for communicating via a brain implant: 62 words per minute by ChickenTeriyakiBoy1

I think the upper limit will be beyond anything relating to language, like speaking or even thinking words. It'd be something like transcribing thoughts themselves from abstract forms into words.

I would love for somebody to transcribe the particular fuzzy images of people I imagine the same every time as my mental concept of actions like "driving" or "football". I'm pretty sure they're people contorted in ways that are impossible. But I can't even remember the image after it connects my thoughts, it's like a dream. Am I the only one?

We actually have an early brainwave to images ai now, release was a few months ago. Still needs a few years before it'll do arbitrary images though.
