Cortical neurons continuously transform sets of incoming spike trains into output spike trains. This input-output transformation is referred to as single-neuron computation and constitutes one of the most fundamental process in the brain. A deep understand ...
Our understanding of motor neuron biology in humans is derived mainly from investigation of human postmortem tissue and more indirectly from live animal models such as rodents. Thus generation of motor neurons from human embryonic stem cells and human indu ...
Redundant encoding of information facilitates reliable distributed information processing. To explore this hypothesis in the motor system, we applied concepts from information theory to quantify the redundancy of movement-related information encoded in the ...
Brain-machine interfaces (BMIs) are artificial systems that aim to restore sensation and movement to paralyzed patients. So far, BMIs have enabled only one arm to be moved at a time. Control of bimanual arm movements remains a major challenge. We have deve ...
Object-level impedance control is of great importance for object-centric tasks, such as robust grasping and dexterous manipulation. Despite the recent progress on this topic, how to specify the desired object impedance for a given task remains an open issu ...
Objective: We studied the activation of cortical motor and parietal areas during the observation of object related grasping movements. By manipulating the type of an object (realistic versus abstract) and the type of grasping (correct versus incorrect), we ...
Brain-machine interfaces (BMIs) - devices that connect brain areas to external actuators - strive to restore limb mobility and sensation to patients suffering from paralysis or limb loss. Here we report a novel BMI that controls two virtual arms simultaneo ...
Despite the availability of various options for movement restoration in stroke patients, there is no effective treatment for patients who show little or no functional recovery of upper limb motor function. ...
It is plausible to hypothesize that the spiking responses of certain neurons represent functions of the spiking signals of other neurons. A natural ensuing question concerns how to use experimental data to infer what kind of a function is being computed. M ...
Information encoded in neuron ensembles has previously been hypothesized to be highly redundant, despite the apparent inefficiency of a redundant encoding system. The recent availability of intracortical, multi-electrode recordings has enabled the possibil ...
