Claim One:
1. A biological interface system comprising: a sensor comprising a plurality of electrodes for detecting a multi-cellular potential emanating from one or more living cells of a subject; and a processing device comprising a processor and memory to extract features from the multi-cellular potential, wherein the processing device determines an intended movement of a prosthesis based on a hierarchical pattern recognition control scheme executing on the processor, wherein the hierarchical pattern recognition control scheme comprises: a first classifier configured to determine an intended motion of the prosthesis within a first degree of freedom of the prosthesis and to produce an output reflecting the intended motion; and a plurality of subsequent classifiers, wherein the hierarchical pattern recognition control scheme is configured to: select a second classifier from the plurality of subsequent classifiers on the basis of the output of the first classifier reflecting the intended motion; and use the second classifier to determine an intended motion of the prosthesis within a second degree of freedom of the prosthesis; wherein the processing device is configured to send the intended movement to the prosthesis for control of the prosthesis.
