When I first heard about brain chips, I thought, "they're going to read my thoughts!"
But that's not how this tech actually works, at least not yet. What they're actually doing is reading your intention to move.
They say it feels like using The Force...
Here's how a brain computer interface today works:

This is @neuralink's brain chip: the N1 Implant. They call it “The Link”.
I got to see it up close to understand how it works and how the Neuralink team designed a brand new surgical robot to implant it...

Neuralink built a surgical robot (R1) that uses a needle thinner than human hair to implant chip with 1,024 electrodes (64 threads x 16 electrodes each) onto the brain. Takes 1.5 seconds a thread to insert. Camera maps the brain and sensors ensure the threads don’t hit tiny blood vessels. Incredible.

Perfect explanation of what my Neuralink implant does!
To think I was the 7th person in the world this was performed on is still mind blowing to me. Beep boop 🤖

Probably the best “intro to BCI” video out there.
If you’re curious about the field, watching this is the place to start!
