“…Means of extracting nervous system signals range from invasive [intracortical microelectrodes (APs, or spikes) and larger scale sub- or epidural electrodes (electrocorticography, ECoG)] to non-invasive [electroencephalography (EEG) or electromyography (EMG)]. Targeted outputs have included cursors on a screen (Wolpaw and McFarland, 1994; Kennedy and Bakay, 1998; Leuthardt et al, 2004; McFarland et al, 2010), virtual typing (Jarosiewicz et al, 2015), robotic or prosthetic arms (Collinger et al, 2013; Hotson et al, 2016), wheelchairs (Rajangam et al, 2016), exoskeletons (Donati et al, 2016), the spinal cord (Zimmermann and Jackson, 2014; Capogrosso et al, 2016), and a patient's own extremities (Ethier et al, 2012; Memberg et al, 2014; King et al, 2015; Bouton et al, 2016; Vidaurre et al, 2016). …”
