This is the best summary I could come up with:

It may not always be that way, and that’s a good thing for patients unable to speak due to neurological problems—and eventually, for anyone who wants to work more efficiently, researchers at the University of California Berkeley say.

While receiving surgery they hoped would cure intractable seizures, Pink Floyd’s 1979 single “Another Brick in the Wall, Part 1” played in the operating room.

Using artificial intelligence, Bellier was able to reconstruct the song from that electrical activity in each patient’s brain, according to an article published Tuesday in the journal PLoS Biology.

Bellier’s work will be used to develop even better brain-machine interfaces, which can be used by paralyzed patients like the late Stephen Hawking to express themselves, Knight said—only not so robotically, and eventually, perhaps, merely by thinking.

If the technology is streamlined, it may eventually aid those without disabling conditions—think thought workers—more easily sync with a computer to type text from their minds.

As for the potential of privacy concerns to develop, Bellier said he’d be more worried about what Big Tech knows about us now, thanks to the monitoring and tracking of online activity.

Cool for the disabled to have another means of communication but I personally wouldn’t want a literal mind-reading implant put in.

Google just sucking the thoughts out of your head to serve you more rELeVanT ads🤩🤩

Captain Pike could do more than beep beep?

Next step, Guantanamo Bay.

and eventually, for anyone who wants to work more efficiently

Oh… How many years until we have Deus Ex Human Revolution in real life?

We already can do it. I can’t imagine a life without it. It makes things easier. I hope humans can achieve it soon.

And they didn’t even use “Brain Damage”.

I can already imagine a Amazon warehouse worker have his brain waves monitored and gets reprimanded everytime he is not focused. They would probably reason it out that it’s for safety reasons.

I don’t know how it sounds in the original version of Dark Star (1973/John Carpenter) but it sounds quite similar how Commander Powell, being in cryogenic suspension and “speaking” through some brain-computer interface, sounds in the German synced version.

Wonder how this will be used by state actors… I guess we can say goodbye to having queer thoughts in secret, or to having involuntary intrusive thoughts with illegal content, suicidal thoughts without forced hospitalization…
