1. A method for interacting with the nervous system, the method comprising:
- detecting signals of normal and abnormal function of a body function of an individual at one or more sensors, without requiring knowledge of the precise neurophysiological mapping of the signals;
mathematically processing said signals;
associating said processed signals to create a symbolic representation specific to the body function of the individual; and
delivering effector responses based on the representation in order to enhance or reinstate the body function.

Abstract
Disclosed is a method for interacting with the nervous system. The method includes detecting signals associated with a biological function at one or more sensors. It also includes processing the signals to create a representation thereof, delivering effector responses based on the representations, and controlling a physical process.
