While peripheral mechanisms of proprioception are well understood, the cortical processing of its feedback during dynamic and complex movements remains less clear. Corticokinematic coherence (CKC), which quantifies the coupling between limb movements...
The human thalamus projects nerve fibers to all cortical regions and propagates epileptic activity. However, opportunities to directly record thalamic and cortical neural activities simultaneously are extremely limited and their electrophysiological ...
Previous studies suggest that the combination of robot-assisted training with other concurrent tasks may promote the functional recovery and improvement better than the single task. It is well-established that robot-assisted rehabilitation training ...
Animals have exquisite control of their bodies, allowing them to perform a diverse range of behaviours. How such control is implemented by the brain, however, remains unclear. Advancing our understanding requires models that can relate principles of ...
In a recent issue of Cell, Vargas and colleagues demonstrate that task-driven neural network models are superior at predicting proprioceptive activity in the primate cuneate nucleus and sensorimotor cortex compared with other models. This provides va...
Several studies have shown that mouth movements related to the pronunciation of individual phonemes are represented in the sensorimotor cortex. This would theoretically allow for brain computer interfaces that are capable of decoding continuous speec...
Development of brain-computer interface (BCI) technology is key for enabling communication in individuals who have lost the faculty of speech due to severe motor paralysis. A BCI control strategy that is gaining attention employs speech decoding from...
The sensory cortex is characterized by general organizational principles such as topography and hierarchy. However, measured brain activity given identical input exhibits substantially different patterns across individuals. Although anatomical and fu...
Corticokinematic coherence (CKC) between magnetoencephalographic and movement signals using an accelerometer is useful for the functional localization of the primary sensorimotor cortex (SM1). However, it is difficult to determine the tongue CKC beca...
Brain-computer interface (BCI) aims to establish communication paths between the brain processes and external devices. Different methods have been used to extract human intentions from electroencephalography (EEG) recordings. Those based on motor ima...
