TL;DR: It is shown that the 300–1,000 Hz band of spiking activity, dominated by local single-unit spikes, can enhance the decoding performance of neural interfaces and correlates better with the firing rates of lower signal-to-noise-ratio units than the TCR.

TL;DR: This is the first demonstration of brain control of finger-level fine motor skills in rhesus macaques and it is believed that these results represent an important step towards full and dexterous control of neural prosthetic devices.

TL;DR: This paper proposes an electrocorticography (ECoG) recording system with near-field RF power transfer and bilateral communication, but the 0.5W Tx exceeds maximum exposure limits by 10x and computes so-called spiking band power on-chip to save 920x power while maintaining accurate finger position and velocity decoding.

TL;DR: This is the first systematic and biomimetic separation of digits for continuous online decoding in a NHP as well as the first demonstration of the ReFIT Kalman filter improving the performance of precise finger decoding.

TL;DR: The findings show that peripheral nerve interfaces and brain‐machine interfaces have many similar characteristics that enable them to be concurrently developed and may lead to novel physiological models that may one day fully restore upper limb motor function for a growing patient population.
