But seriously, I don't understand the problem they're trying to solve here. Nobody is going to learn to stimulate their muscles in new ways for an interface - an interface is supposed to make things easier. And if they're not using new stimulation patterns, or firing individual motor units, they're just moving their (arms|eyes|faces|...), which can be detected easily enough with a camera.
Not to say that the technology isn't interesting, but I think until we understand the brain much better than we do currently, the only use for BCIs is precisely the market they dismiss in the introduction - the severely disabled.
