If he hasn't gotten an implant when it moves beyond solving medical problems to being a consumer device that an everyday person would be able to buy, that'd be really telling.

But until then that's not how it works. They need approval to do trials on very specific things, such as working with quadriplegics.

We're probably decades away from non trials for only medical purposes.
