Can you (or someone else) please explain how the chip is supposed to read the extra gestures?

The image in the link mentions "Capacitive Electrodes". If I get that right these electrodes wil not necessarily be mounted on top of the screen but somewhere else (e.g. on the free space right of the screen). So they would pretty much be like extra hardware buttons.

How would these electrodes be connected to the chip? Right now I can hardly think of a wired way that would still enable me, Mr. AllThumbs, to replace the board on my own.

Or is this whole thing not for the basic Neo900 version but for the specialists who add extra features via the battery bay?
