Hey jackass, these non invasive studies aren’t helping people with medical conditions or anything. Sometimes you need to start with “non invasive” to learn and integrate that intel into your actual invasive biohardware that can kill or torment your consciousness if the scientist is fucking stupid and lacks intel from previous computer labs. That money isn’t being wasted, it’s not only helping that company/team but the rest of the worlds scientist (AI too) to reflect back on that paper.
