This is incredible. Unfortunately I can't help but picture some executives/politics salivating at the mouth just by the idea of being able to plug into your very brain in a handful of years.

Yes? We didn't stop testing on monkeys, we just got a lot more selective about who got told about that. It's not pretty, but in order for science to advance, with the technology we have today, it involves testing on animals, because it would be worse to test unsafe things on humans.

That would actually break the language barrier. He can think in English, but speech can be in any language with automatic translation.

It's not a stretch to imagine people wearing headsets that get the broadcasted speech data and then replay it in the user's native language.
