Surgery robots have a tongue controller. It takes a while to train on that, but when you‘re trained your tongue muscle is the most precise way to control, say, subtle incisions deep inside the brain.

Do you have a link to those? It seems ... somewhat implausible.
A doctor told me that a few years ago, but googling it myself now, I don‘t find anything, either. I think I missed a joke back then.

Flag my comment, it‘s wrong.

No need to flag, I don't think - hopefully if someone's reading it, they're seeing your reply to me as well.

And maybe you didn't miss a joke, maybe your doctor had tongue-driven brain surgery? :P

If anybody reading this wants to hire someone to devote their life to this tech, hit me up. Autistic special interest.

That’s cool but also definitely not the same thing that GP claimed.
