Bibliographical note

Funding Information:
J. Cheng and E. Keefer have ownership in Nerves Incorporated, which is a sponsor of the clinical studies described in this article using research funding provided by DARPA. Z. Yang is co-founder of, and holds equity in, Fasikl Inc, a sponsor of this project. We owe a great debt of gratitude to the wonderful patients who have given so generously of their time and their well-being by participating in this groundbreaking research. If there are heroes and angels to be found in this work, our patients deserve those accolades without any doubt. Our further efforts and our persistence in this work are now owed to them, as they have sacrificed for all amputees present and future, and we must succeed in bringing FAST-LIFE electrode interfacing to fruition as a standard-of-care clinical treatment in order to fully repay our debt to them.
