Continuous detection and prediction of grasp states and kinematics from primate motor, premotor, and parietal cortex
Beschreibung:
Neuroprosthetics aim to restore a paralyzed patient’s ability to interact with the environment, e.g., by enabling the patient to control a robot arm and hand with his or her brain activity by decoding movement intentions from motor related brain activity. Previously, activity from primary motor cortex has primarily been used to predict movements. However, it has been shown that area F5 in the ventral premotor cortex and the anterior intraparietal area (AIP) also carry information about grip type, wrist orientation, and hand shape during movement planning and execution. In this thesis, we in...
