    Other prosthetic/mechanical changes to hearts don’t do that, so I would guess this one doesn’t either. It would require interfacing with the brain and decoding stimulus, which would be much more complex.

    Usually the recipents just keep activity low or pass out when they need the energy/heat dissipation and can’t get it.

      Yes exactly, so when they call it a “total heart replacement” I’d like to have clarification on it, so that I know how excited I should get

      It’s frustrating when articles on new innovations don’t go into details about them at all except just “it exists” pretty much
