Hit 50 BCI test sessions before I noticed the pattern

I've been beta testing a neural headset for 6 months now. Last night I hit test session number 50. What surprised me was that my typing speed plateaued right at session 30 and hasn't budged since. The calibration drift got worse after 40 sessions, not better like the company promised. My error rate spiked from 2% to 8% between sessions 45 and 49. Has anyone else seen their accuracy fall off a cliff after a certain number of uses?

Wait, your error rate tripled after session 45? That's honestly terrifying.

Really feel for you @william_taylor, that jump sounds brutal. Hope you're getting some support on this. Have you been able to figure out what's causing it yet?

Does your dog also lose it when you step on a crunchy leaf on a walk? Sorry, that's random but your post reminded me of how my neighbor's golden retriever once spooked so bad from a rustling bag he bolted into a bush. Anyway, back to your error rate thing - have you checked if there's a pattern in the tasks that spike the errors, like maybe specific types of prompts or harder data?
