There are, there's no one size fits all in neural interface. The ability to interface with many, many neurons or to interface with the brain and nervous system is critical. And we feel that in order for neural interfaces to really have a major impact clinically in patients, we have to be able to reach many patients in a way that poses minimal risk to patients for maximal benefit. Those are kind of the guiding principles, the guiding design principles have precision. That resulted in us designing an electrode interface that rather than being many tiny little penetrating electrodes that penetrate the surface of the brain,. Rather, we're using tiny little electrodes. So it can listen to the brain at very high resolution,
