'Spike' probably is refering to a shape on a graph and not any physical harpoon like component.
for me it just sounds like the chip is receiving signals from neurons and the "spike" is basically a signal.
short: the chips works well in receiving signals and you can control the mouse by that. so nothing sending hut just receiving and getting a clear signal.
