This impressive medical advance has barely made the news.

Nothing on Reuters, Bloomberg, etc. even when backed by Nature. I got it from the BBC, by the way.

Now imagine for a second the media reaction if Elon Musk's Neuralink was able o achieve 10% of what this team has done.

@Barredo I read the BBC, helps to read a variety of news including foreign. This is awesome new, a long sought goal for medical professionals working with spinal cord injuries.

@Barredo No creo que sea infalible, pero reconozco que la BBC es lo que leo cuando me quiero enterar de lo que pasa (sobre todo en mi pais)... Y en otro orden de cosas: sigue llamándome la atención el hecho de que si los periodistas sabéis que el personaje (Elon) es lo que es, ¿para que le hacéis caso y se le da el bombo que se le da?
