You can't sit or stand at work? That's it, we just shouldn't work at all. Which hasn't been a problem for me in almost a year.

The "hearing" of brain signals is a thrilling concept. I've known a few nonverbal people in the community who could really benefit.
I wonder, if someone is hooked up to this, if they will be able to maintain privacy. I mean, say you anger me, I can just shut up and pretend I'm fine. Not so with this technology. Still, huge leap forward if this works!
