From the article:

> Previously, researchers have been able to detect up to 25 individual motor units. Reardon claims to have greatly surpassed that, recording about 100 individual units

So basically, they have achieved much greater throughput, and that number is going up.

Hopefully it's actually useful. I pre-ordered the Myo, used it a couple of times and have left it in a drawer since. Doesn't work reliably enough even with simply gestures to take on a basic task in your workflow.

I had hoped to use it to switch work spaces or bring up frequent apps, but it was easier to do things manually rather than have the gesture fail 50% of the time.
