Background:

Brain-computer interfaces (BCI) require reliable neural signal recording.
Current invasive methods like electrocorticography (ECoG) offer high signal quality but pose risks for chronic use.
Sub-scalp electroencephalography (EEG) presents a minimally invasive alternative.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate sub-scalp EEG for chronic brain-computer interface (BCI) applications.
To demonstrate the high spatial resolution of sub-scalp EEG.
To assess the efficacy of sub-scalp EEG in classifying sensorimotor neural activity.

Main Methods:

Two experiments were conducted in sheep models.
Somatosensory evoked potentials were analyzed to assess spatial resolution.
Motor execution was classified using recorded sub-scalp EEG data during behavioral tasks.

Main Results:

Sensorimotor rhythms were successfully recorded using sub-scalp EEG.
Key spatial, temporal, and spectral features of the signals were identified.
Motor execution was classified with above-chance accuracy, comparable to ECoG and endovascular arrays.

Conclusions:

Sub-scalp EEG provides signal quality approaching that of more invasive neural recording techniques.
The findings support the viability of sub-scalp EEG for chronic BCI applications.
This technology offers a promising, less invasive approach for long-term neural monitoring.
