Patent ID: 7881780

Claim:
A biological interface system comprising: a sensor comprising a plurality of electrodes for detecting multicellular signals emanating from one or more living cells of a patient; a processing unit configured to receive the multicellular signals from the sensor, process the multicellular signals to produce a processed signal, and transmit the processed signal to a controlled device; the controlled device for receiving the processed signal; and an integrated patient training routine performed to generate one or more system configuration parameters used by the processing unit to produce the processed signal, the patient training routine comprising: a system configuration plan comprising a first configuration of steps to be performed; means for collecting a first set of patient data, the first set of patient data collected prior to patient control of the controlled device; means for analyzing the first set of patient data and providing an output of the analysis; and means for modifying the system configuration plan; wherein the system configuration plan is modified when the output of the analysis of the first set of patient data falls below a success threshold value, and wherein the success threshold value is set to require at least one modification of the configuration plan prior to the patient controlling the controlled device.
