TL;DR: Initial results for a tetraplegic human using a pilot NMP suggest that NMPs based upon intracortical neuronal ensemble spiking activity could provide a valuable new neurotechnology to restore independence for humans with paralysis.

TL;DR: In this paper, the activity from a few motor cortex neurons can be decoded into a signal that a monkey is able to use immediately to move a computer cursor to any new position in its workspace.

TL;DR: A control-theoretic approach that explicitly models the motion of the hand and the probabilistic relationship between this motion and the mean firing rates of the cells in 70ms bins is developed and provides insights into the nature of the neural coding of movement.

TL;DR: In this article, a system for detecting, monitoring, and/or treating neurological events based on electrical signals generated from the patient's body is described. But the system may include an implant configured to be placed in the body and detect signals indicative of an activity that precedes the neurological event, and a processing unit configured to process the detected signals so as to predict the neurological events prior to the occurrence.

TL;DR: It is contended that fulfilling the potential of brain substrate expansion will require a significant shift from current methods that emphasize direct manipulations of the brain to the generation of more sophisticated neural tissues and neural-electric hybrids in vitro that are subsequently transplanted into the brain.
