TBH 74% accuracy is quite impressive for a device that "reads thought sentences".

And I'm sure it will improve as the electrode placement and NN is optimized. Accuracy also may improve if the speaker can learn to slow their 'speech' and perhaps add brief gaps between words.

I wonder if trying to enunciate distinctly would help?

Its potential to recognize such a large range of words is also encouraging. That implies the signal is quite rich yet deconvolvable.

Agreed. It's fascinating to think about (no pun intended) where this could go, but also I can't keep myself imagining a world where this tech is ubiquitous and everyone's wearing those casually and it's all "cloud" connected and how it can be weaponized against users by governments and TLAs.
