This is actually old news. DARPA has already made robots that can be controlled remotely by chimpanzees by plugin into their brains. It just takes forever and a ton of money to get anything approved by the FDA ,but it will happen.

While the field may be old, this particular technology is new...

The springyness, strechyness, and flexibility is what is new...

This goes inside you, and attached to the spinal cord, if I remember the studies you are referring to, those were surface mounted interfaces...

Which still are in use, and I see a guy around my town with the external hearing device she referred to in the video...

I don't think they've publish this study publicly, I just know someone who worked there ,but it was brain level interface. The only thing I could find was a video of a monkey controlling a robot arm with his mind.
