Going beyond primary motor cortex to improve brain–computer interfaces - Trends in Neurosciences, 2022
Gallego, J. A., Makin, T. R., McDougle, S.D. Abstact Brain–computer interfaces (BCIs) for movement restoration typically decode the user’s intent from neural activity in their primary motor cortex (M1) and use this information to enable ‘mental control’ of an external device. Here, we argue that activity in M1 has both too little and too much information for optimal decoding: too little, in that many regions beyond it contribute unique motor outputs and have movement-related
