You’ll get no argument from me there. The whole LLM part seems like a gimmick unless it’s doing error correction on a messy data stream like a drunk person fat fingering in a question to ChatGPT except with an EEG. It might be a really fancy autocorrect.

I’m just saying that EEG data is so unreliable and requires so much calibration/training per person that reliably isolating speech in paralyzed patient would be a significant development.

Definitely, seems like the wrong tool even, or not the right first one, surely you need some sort of big classifier for EEG patterns to words or thoughts/topics; then if used an LLM it would be 'clean up this nonsense into coherent sentences keeping the spirit of the ideas or topics that are mentioned'?
