The article is not clear, they say the patient deteriorated rapidly but did the patient actually consent to BCI implantation before becoming locked-in?

My first question was that one: "how did they manage patient consent to implant this thing?"
I can imagine that any affairs would be in order and that the patient would assign an executor (and talk to them about things like this) in advance. I mean it was a deteriorating disease, not a sudden event.
How rapidly is rapidly?
