Decoding decision making and planning signal from multiple cortical areas for a cognitive-based brain-machine interface

我的主要目标是通过使用猴子的皮质电图（ECoG）信号来解码用于决策和计划的高水平大脑信号，以及它们的整合。在项目期间，我们成功地在猴子体内植入了128通道ECoG阵列，覆盖了迄今为止报道的最广泛的区域。我们还建立了一种新的基于ECoG的解码系统，并证明ECoG信号携带丰富的信息，用于高维预期运动，视觉和听觉处理以及高级认知功能，如社会推理。

My main objective is to decode high level brain signals for decision making and planning, and their integration, by using electrocorticographic (ECoG) signals in monkeys. During the project duration, we successfully implanted 128-channel ECoG arrays in monkeys, covering the widest area that had been reported. We also established a novel ECoG-based decoding system and demonstrated that ECoG signals carry rich information for high-dimensional intended movements, visual and auditory processing, and high-level cognitive functions, such as social reasoning.
