The brainwave interface is setting off major red flags for me. That is highly suspect. Researchers have been trying to crack that nut for decades. If this guy figured it out he would be insanely rich overnight.

The biggest problem with the career researchers is is money. As long as the money flows like milk out of a Holstein there is no incentive to actually produce anything.
remove the teat from the researchers pocket and watch them have a sudden influx of miracle break throughs.
