Is the training data unique for a person, or can you reuse the models between people?

Are you saying people can just show up to your office for a...tour?

In exchange for adding your EMG sensory data into their machine learning dataset while you are walking around? ;-)

Worth it.

I appreciated and upvoted your post with the link in Wired. However, am I getting something wrong in the article?
"The innovation lies in picking up EMG more precisely—including getting signals from individual neurons—than the previously existing technology..."
EMG by definition acquires muscle activity. How do you claim that it is signals of neurons, let alone individual ones?!

Can you provide any technical detail about what is unique or novel about what your company does? Neither the wired article nor your company webpage has any useful information on what might differentiate you from the countless EMG devices out and hobbyist setups there.

Can we actually visit your office/research labs in NYC? One of my bosses loves this stuff and is always looking down the road. We would likely use it for advertising at our company or understanding how consumers interact with our products.

I'd love to! But I can't figure out where you're located.
EEG--reading signals from the brain--is pretty hard. But EMG--capturing muscle contractions in the arm--produces relatively much cleaner data. This can then be fed into a variety of machine learning algorithms to map high-fidelity time series data to discrete signals or continuous gestures for which we have appropriate training data.
