Another route might also be sub-vocalization[1], like TTS for your thoughts. I recently picked up some cheap toys to get started trying to emulate the results[2].

Not really a huge PG fan, but this is what billionaires should be doing: see where a need is exists and put some of your insane wealth towards making an improvement. This why I respect Elon even though I don’t really like him; he puts his money to use, in a very public manner.

I'm not arguing that Elon doesn't put his money to use publicly, but I'm interested how you think he does. Do you mean he uses his wealth privately in a way that benefits the public, and/or he does it in public view?

EEG recording is an alternative that would outlast the potential disease-related degradation of eye movements. Manny Donchin gave a brown bag at UIUC about the possibilities of using this approach to support communication by ALS patients many years ago. It's clever: they use the P300 marker to index attention/intention. I do not recall whether he and his colleagues ever commercialized the tech. I believe that this publication is representative: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.clinph.2005.06.027

I responded to the thread but Senseye has been working on this for a while now. Originally they were working with the US Air Force to help with improving pilot training - fatigue etc.. inference with retinal reading

They have generally struggled to find funding for their eye tracking focused work, and have recently had to pivot away from the really exciting but hard to fund stuff into PTSD screening (which is important too).

I can connect you with the founder if desired via the email in my bio

How is it going? It's not obvious to me at a glance.

I worked on eye tracking hardware for Microsoft HoloLens. Several AR headsets offer decent eye tracking, including Hololens 2 and Magic Leap's ML2. I think Tobii's eye tracking glasses are probably better as a stand-alone solution though: https://www.tobii.com/products/eye-trackers/wearables/tobii-...

Musk has a track record of working on what he considers (among) the most important problems, and he supposedly set that course in college.

I suspect a foveated system is going to be a big thing in machine vision as well.

That's an interesting idea. How do you see it being beneficial to machine learning models, other than (I assume) it could work more efficiently within less foveal regions? Perhaps cases where you want the vision to emulate human vision?
