NEW PREPRINT OUT!
Happy to share that our #preprint on how the human #brain encodes #touch: biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
We investigate how touch is encoded in the human #somatosensory and #motor cortices recorded via #microelectrode arrays across different tactile conditions
We first identified times of erroneous movements during unassisted cursor control (red). We then added the pre-error window (yellow, 0.2 seconds before error begins). We found that we could reliably classify these time windows from electrodes in motor cortex of 4 study participants.
Our latest preprint uses the brain's own recognition, and prediction, of movement errors to improve Brain-Computer Interface control. This work, led by @camillegontier.bsky.social and @jenpitt.bsky.social, sets the stage for more accurate and easy-to-use BCIs.
