Decoding of neural signals for movement control

TL;DR: In this paper, a brain machine interface for decoding neural signals for control of a machine is provided, which combines information from two classes of neural activity: plan and peri-movement.
Posted ContentDOI

Feedforward and feedback interactions between visual cortical areas use different population activity patterns

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate the way in which feedforward and feedback signaling interact with one another and find that feedforward-dominated interactions are feedforwarddominated shortly after stimulus onset and feedback-dominated during spontaneous activity.

Learning is shaped by abrupt changes in neural engagement

TL;DR: It is found that neural engagement interacted with learning, helping to explain why animals learned some task goals more quickly than others and how these changes impacted behavioral performance for different task goals.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

Increasing the Performance of Cortically-Controlled Prostheses

TL;DR: Some of the recent experimental and computational work aimed at establishing a principled design methodology to increase electrode-based cortical prosthesis performance to near theoretical limits are reviewed and results should substantially increase the clinical viability of cortical prostheses.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

Influence of movement speed on plan activity in monkey pre-motor cortex and implications for high-performance neural prosthetic system design

TL;DR: Pre-motor cortex neural activity from a rhesus monkey trained to perform delayed-reaches to targets at two different speeds is recorded and movement speed information is found in action potential emission rates and local field potential power during a "plan" period preceding movement.
