It appears to be a scanning method.  You can see pictures on the top of this page http://news.mit.edu/2016/fighting-als-mind-hand-heart-0729.   Scroll through the pictures at the top (they have an arrow button next to the pictures) and in one picture you can see scanning.  I can’t image using more than two switches but who knows?  Maybe this development will enable people to communicate quicker via multiple EMG switches.

Hi,
I wonder if anyone (Kevin Caves?) could explain to us the elements of this system that go beyond being a wireless EMG switch. Is anyone using over 2 switches to communicate more quickly or is this basically a scanning method.     
Sincerely,
