Claim 11:
12. A system comprising:
a neural decoding system configured to receive neural signals from a user, process the neural signals, and output commands based on the processed neural signals;
a device in communication with the neural decoding system to receive the at least one command and comprising a display, a non-transitory memory storing instructions, and a processor to execute the instructions to: run an instance of a control program, wherein the instance of the control program is configured to communicate with the neural decoding system and execute tasks of the device in response to the commands; and
another device in communication with the neural decoding system, wherein the other device comprises: a non-transitory memory storing instructions, and a processor to execute the instructions to: run another instance of the control program, wherein the other instance of the control program is configured to communicate with the neural decoding system and execute tasks of the other device in response to the commands,
wherein one of the instance of the control program and the other instance of the control program is active at a time, wherein only the active instance of the control program receives commands and performs the tasks associated with the commands,
wherein when the active instance of the control program is run on the device and receives a switch command based on neural signals indicating the user wants to switch the active instance of the control program to the other device:
the active instance of the control program on the device sends an instruction to the neural decoding system to switch control to the other instance of the control program on the other device, and
the neural decoding system reconfigures to stop sending commands to the instance of the control program on the device and to send commands to the other instance of the control program on the other device.
