I'm not surprised given the person in charge, but I still feel bad for the guy. Being almost completely paralyzed, it makes total sense to jump at the chance to get some normalcy back.

I didn't expect 85% of the wires to already detach at this point. In a just society, the whole company would be shut down and the CEO put into a bottomless pit.

It didn't stop her seizures, it predicted their occurance

Anyway after the American company Neuravista went bust there's been a lot of development in approaches which don't need brain implantation anyway:

The nature of implants is really grim - even Cochlear/hearing implants which are widely praised by people outside the Deaf community basically destroy and replace a considerable part of a person's remaining hearing ability.

Sound of music (2019) is a good film on that

I didn't know that about cochlear implants... geez
