Intracortical Recording of Brain Activity for Control of Limb Prostheses

By Humphrey, Donald R. Hochberg, Leigh R. Laboratory of Neurophysiology, Emory University School of Medicine, Atlanta, GA; Proceedings of the RESNA '95 Annual Conference, Vol. 15
(Pages: 650-658) Publication Date: 1995

This article reviews neurophysical studies of the motor cortex in primates in relation to possible control of assistive technology devices by signals directly derived from the brain. Subjects discussed include: 1) Selection of sites for the derivation of control signals; 2) Arm-Hand areas of the cerebral cortex - topographical organization of the precentral motor cortex, control parameters in the discharge of motor cortex neurons, plasticity of motor cortex discharge; 3) Directions for further research.
