The very idea of connecting neruons to electronics is an old science fiction dream/nightmare. I doubt it has any use in reality.
We already have several very effective ways of influencing the brain through ordinary sensory inputs.
There’s no reason to invent a new input for the brain.

Some possible future use cases would be things like:
Restoring Mobility: Bypassing spinal cord damage to regain limb control.
Treating Neurological Disorders: Modulating brain activity for conditions like Parkinson’s or epilepsy.
Restoring Vision and Hearing: Bypassing damaged pathways to directly stimulate the brain.
Enhancing Communication: Translating thoughts into speech for those with severe impairments.
Prosthetic Control: Enabling natural movement with brain-controlled prosthetics.
Treating Mental Health: Targeting brain circuits to manage depression or PTSD.
Memory Restoration: Helping those with memory loss, like in Alzheimer’s.
