There is a presentation about tech in question: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8pB8sNBGlE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8pB8sNBGlE Looks very interesting,

  This doesn't seem like a neural interface at all. Yes, technically the device is measuring neural activity, but it's measuring neural activity in your arm, not in your brain. In effect, this seems to be way closer to gesture control than it is to a neural interface. If that's all they're doing, the title of this post is very misleading (and consequently, most of the comments in this thread are irrelevant).

    yep. it's totally a surface electromyography device that feeds into a neural network to recognize the gesture you are making from your wrist. There are alternatives of course, such as gesture recognition from a camera. This is interesting regardless, but wonder how useful it is. Gesture recognition is not new , it's just has not surpassed other input devices yet.

  This doesn't look as interesting as described in the article. It looks like it's just reading muscle electrical signals, and that movement is required to make it work. I mean, isn't that just a Power Glove?

    > and that movement is required to make it work. Did you watch the full video? They show someone playing Asteroids without any movement. Movement is not required.

      The motoneuron needs to fire, which (unless your hand is cut off) will result to some muscle movement. Apparently it's either too little movement to be visible , or it's blocked (such as when holding his hand or when arms were folded).
