Good points! I had seen it as the school giving students with internet connected brain implants like NeuroLinks two options: 1. Turn off the device (I imagined the NeuroLink as having a magnetic cutoff switch inside the main implant housing that can be triggered by holding a magnet at the back of your neck), and be fitted with a device that can detect whether an implant is broadcasting wireless signals. For Jess, this isn't a big deal, since she's either 20 or 21, got her implant at 16, and so over the last 4-5 years of taking countless tests and exams, only had one seizure during that period. 2. Have special software installed in your implant similar to the sort of software you have to install on your home computer for writing a test for a distance education course, which prevents you from opening a browser or other software. The downside of this is now you have a piece of software installed in your brain that can prevent you from accessing your AR interface, turn off your internet access, among other things, all outside of your control. I have a feeling that only people for whom it is really dangerous to turn off the implant (in which case, maybe a NeuroLink isn't the best choice), would resort to this option. Regarding a Stream Monitor, they would only be able to see what Jess wants them to see, Jess could still open her AR interface without letting her monitor see it (although perhaps she would told that she has to have the AR interface open and share access to it with the monitor, so that the monitor can see that nothing is open on it, so maybe a Stream Monitor would work as a method, similar to when you write a test at home, you sometimes have to do it with a camera on). I had also considered that maybe the school has a special room that blocks radio/wifi signals, but that wouldn't stop Jess from using her AR interface to look at her notes.

2024-12-05 20:34:28 +0000 UTCAt least just have someone with stream/viewer permissions to monitor if she cheats or not! Don’t deactivate the medical device! Just check to see if she does it or not! If she gets caught cheating by the stream monitor it’s the same thing. It’s like if a paralyzed student wrote notes on their wheelchair, you wouldn’t kick them off the wheelchair, you’d just inspect it! What a ridiculous and dangerous decision by school administration.
