Competing Interests
The research was funded by a National Institutes of Health Grant (NIH) awarded jointly to Advanced medical Electronics (AME) with Kevin Kramer as PI, the University of Minnesota (Gordon Legge, PI) and the University of Southern California (USC, with Bosco Tjan as PI). For administrative purposes, the primary recipient of the grant was AME, with the University of Minnesota and USC funded through subcontracts to AME. Three of the authors—Gary Havey, Kevin Kramer and David Rolkosky—performed contributions to the project as employees of AME. This funding mechanism does not alter the authors' adherence to all the PLOS ONE policies on sharing data and materials.
