The use of intentional signals to switch ON/OFF movement decoding in brain-machine interfaces
Visuomotor behavior relies on visual and motor processes that are interactive and overlapping in space and time. My research is aimed at understanding the local and inter-areal dynamics underlying visuomotor behavior, using combined intra-cortical and EEG recordings. I currently study the complementarity and interactions between motor cortical areas during visuomotor behavior. In relation to this, I will test whether activity patterns in the motor cortical local field potential related to movement intention can be used as a switch-signal for brain machine interfaces (BMIs) intended for paralyzed patients. As we do not always want to move, detecting intention would allow turning on movement decoding only when needed, thereby saving energy during rest.
