Yes. It's also been done, like 15 years ago, with invasive brain probes and IIRC with less invasive outside-of-the-skull electronics as well. Just like all the "experiments" neuralink was doing on monkeys was just stuff that had already been done 15 years ago.
So far neuralink's entire thing has been trying and mostly failing to do stuff that actual researchers did a long time ago, with tech that's far behind its competitors. The only question is whether they're grifting Elon, or if he's in on the grift and they've got other marks.
Probably a little bit of both. Elon is definitely trying to grift more federal money (like with SpaceX) to prop up his other vanity bullshit.
My favourite example is that some engineering youtuber has already even done an out-of-skull controller for a car with a kid's toy.
Future archeologists will be so confused trying to figure out how Statesians thought themselves so advanced from the remaining rubble.
That dude is hilarious
