This is very impressive and useful, and horrifying all at once.
I imagine it would help a stroke patient, I also imagine it would give out unfiltered thoughts, which might be troublesome.

You're right, this is why in year 2200, your job application is going to be fast-tracked by analyzing your thoughts directly.
If you have a Neuralink, no problems, you can directly upload a trace of thoughts.
In case you have wrong thoughts, don't worry, we have rehabilitation school, which can alter your state of mind.
Don't forget to be happy, it's forbidden to be sad.
Also, this is read-only for now, but what about writing ?
This could open new possibilities as well (real-life Matrix ?)
Oh by the way, did you hear about Lightspeed Briefs ?

All that being said, it's great research and going to be useful. Just the potential of abuse from politics is huge over the long-term.
Except that someone with a jailbroken Neuralink could upload a filtered and arbitrarily-modified thought trace, getting ahead of all those plebs. Cyberpunk! :)
As much as this is an unimaginable positive benefit to people who are locked in, this is definitely one of those stories that makes me think "Stop inventing the Torment Nexus!"
They will hate it, lies always benefits those with power more than those without since when the police lies against you then there isn't much you could do before, now you could demand they get their thoughts read.
not far off from existing issues like some forms of tourette’s.
