Background:

  • Invasive brain-machine interfaces (BMIs) are primarily known for restoring motor function.
  • BMIs offer a novel approach to investigate fundamental neuroscience questions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the potential of BMIs beyond neuroprosthetics.
  • To examine how BMIs can elucidate real-time neural information processing, learning, and pathological alterations.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing invasive BMIs to observe neurophysiological activity.
  • Analyzing the causal relationship between neural activity and artificial behavior.

Main Results:

  • BMI subjects act as indirect observers of their own neural activity.
  • The object-observer duality is challenged, enabling direct investigation of neural coding.

Conclusions:

  • BMIs are powerful tools for understanding neural encoding and decoding in real-time.
  • BMIs offer insights into neural plasticity, learning, and disease states.
  • The application of BMIs extends beyond neuroprosthetics into core neuroscience research.
