From a technical perspective, moving a mouse with your mind isn't entirely new: https://elifesciences.org/articles/18554

Personally, I think the most exciting part of Neuralink and other companies working on BCIs is the fact that they're trying to keep these implants in long-term, and scale the deployment significantly. Most academic BCI research thus far has just been trials, without patients getting to keep the implants long term.

Moving the mouse wasn't that impressive. That he could turn of the music just like that while the game was open was impressive. And Civ 6 is way more complex to operate compared to chess. I assume that's not mouse driven.

Still early days for this tech but it seems impressive.

Civ 6 can be entirely played via mouse

Civ 6 is drivable completely with the mouse, and other than editing gold amounts in trade offers a little more quickly there’s not much reason to use anything but a mouse for it.

I assume moving the mouse is an intermediary step for the short term. Detecting intents and relating to actions is probably the medium term goal.
