Claim One:
1. A method for controlling a prosthesis, the method comprising: receiving an IR brain activity signal that corresponds with at least a portion of the motor cortex at one or more IR photodiodes; wherein the IR photodiodes transmit a plurality of inputs that correspond with the first portion of the brain; receiving an EEG brain activity signal that corresponds with at least a portion of the motor cortex at one or more Electroencephalograph electrodes; wherein the Electroencephalograph electrodes transmit a plurality of inputs that correspond with the second portion of the brain; and wherein the said first portion of the brain is different from the said second portion of the brain; mapping the IR brain activity signal and the EEG brain activity signal to an output signal that corresponds with a muscle group using a computer-based neural network that is trained to map the IR brain activity signal and the EEG brain activity signal to an output signal; and coupling the output signal with the prosthesis, wherein the prosthesis is configured to respond to the output signal.
