Confidence-modulated shared control for reliable intracortical BCI navigation in dynamic environments

This paper introduces a confidence-modulated shared-control framework for intracortical BCI navigation, improving reliability in dynamic environments by integrating neural commands with a temporal prior.

An intracortical brain-computer interface for navigation in virtual reality in macaque monkeys

This paper introduces an intracortical BCI for navigation in virtual reality using macaque monkeys, demonstrating its potential for paralyzed patients.

Epicranial electrical stimulation improves non-navigational spatial memory in macaque monkeys

This study shows that 40 Hz epicranial current stimulation improves non-navigational spatial memory and activates the hippocampus in macaques, while 10 Hz stimulation has minimal or negative effects.

An intracortical brain-machine interface based on macaque ventral premotor activity

This study compares the effectiveness of using neural activity from ventral premotor cortex F5c, dorsal premotor cortex, and primary motor cortex for motor brain-machine interface control, finding comparable or better performance from F5c.

Action observation responses in macaque frontal cortex

The paper investigates AOENs in multiple frontal areas, finding similar phasic responses and shared representations between action execution and observation.

Neuronal tuning and population representations of shape and category in human visual cortex.

This study investigates neuronal tuning for shape and category in human visual cortex using spiking activity recordings, finding shape-based representations with category-like encoding and interactions between shape and category tuning.

Fine-grained neural coding of bodies and body parts in human visual cortex

This study records multi-unit spiking activity in human visual cortex to investigate body and body part representation, finding strong selectivity for bodies and generalization to non-photographic depictions.

Visual selectivity and motor role of action observation/execution neurons in macaque ventral premotor cortex

This study investigates the visual selectivity and motor role of AOENs in macaque ventral premotor cortex, finding they respond to abstract shapes and influence motor behavior.

Temporal dynamics of neural activity in macaque frontal cortex assessed with large-scale recordings

The paper examines neural activity patterns in macaque frontal cortex during a saccade-reach-grasp task using large-scale recordings.

The causal role of three frontal cortical areas in grasping

This study investigates the causal role of three frontal cortical areas in grasping by inactivating them in macaque monkeys and measuring the resulting grasping deficits.

Neural effects of continuous theta-burst stimulation in macaque parietal neurons

This study applies continuous TBS to awake rhesus monkeys and finds a long-lasting reduction in parietal neuron excitability and impaired grasping behavior.

Face neurons in human visual cortex

The paper records single-neuron activity in the human occipital face area (OFA) and finds face selectivity at short latencies, suggesting OFA is not strictly tuned to typical facial features.

Effect of viewing distance on object responses in macaque areas 45B, F5a and F5p

The paper investigates how viewing distance affects neuronal responses in macaque areas 45B, F5a, and F5p during visually-guided grasping, finding that area 45B neurons prefer near objects while F5p neurons prefer far objects.

Single-cell selectivity and functional architecture of human lateral occipital complex.

This study records single-unit responses in the human lateral occipital complex and finds that it exhibits properties typical of end-stage visual areas, challenging its traditional hierarchical position.

Neural basis of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation at the single-cell Level

This study investigates the neural basis of TMS at the single-cell level in macaques, finding that TMS activates a small cortical volume and interacts with task-related activity without summation.
