Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Signal Processing

Background:

  • Brain-machine interfaces (BMIs) require reliable control signals.
  • Electrocorticography (ECoG) offers superior spatial and spectral resolution compared to EEG.
  • ECoG avoids the risks associated with penetrating brain tissue for recordings.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the feasibility of decoding 2D control signals from ECoG.
  • To assess the utility of ECoG as a primary or adjunctive control signal for BMIs.

Main Methods:

  • Six epilepsy patients with subdural grid electrodes performed joystick movements (4 directions + trigger).
  • Evoked brain activity was synchronized to movement and analyzed across multiple frequency bands (theta to high-gamma).

Main Results:

  • Movement-related cortical potentials were distinguished from rest with 83-96% accuracy.
  • Movement direction (up, down, left, right) was decoded with 58-86% accuracy using high-gamma band ECoG.
  • The 'trigger' condition was more accurately distinguished than movement directions.

Conclusions:

  • ECoG signals from subdural grids can reliably provide 2D control signals.
  • Local field potentials measured by ECoG are suitable for BMI control applications.
