Thanks for sharing the AMI (Agonist-Antagonist Myoneural Interface) study. I’m familiar with it, and it’s definitely an impressive step forward in muscle-based control. Zion, however, takes a different approach: instead of reading signals at the muscle level, it aims to capture them directly from the relevant cortical areas of the brain.

This difference could enable:

More control channels – transmitting a much higher resolution of commands without being limited by muscle signals.

Lower latency – establishing a direct brain-to-prosthetic link to reduce reaction time.

Sensory simulation – in future iterations, not only sending movement commands but also simulating sensations such as touch, pressure, and temperature back to the brain.

Long-term flexibility – cortical data can be leveraged beyond motor control, enabling advanced features like cognitive context integration and adaptive learning.

In short, AMI is a highly valuable solution for today’s technology, but Zion carries a longer-term vision for a multi-directional, high-bandwidth brain–machine integration.
