Title: The other BCI implant: the power and potential of cortical surface electrodes
Presenter: Nick Ramsey, Ph.D.
Professor
Department of Neurology and Neurosurgery
Rudolf Magnus Institute of Neuroscience
University Medical Center Utercht
Location: Biomedical Science Tower 3, Room 6014
Abstract: Recording and decoding brain activity from the surface of the cortex is
an alternative approach to brain-computer interfacing in humans compared
to indwelling electrodes. Proof of concept research is conducted in
patients with surface electrodes implanted for diagnostic purposes but
also in healthy volunteers with advanced functional MRI technology. In
the first part I will present research leading up to a clinical study
with a fully implantable BCI system for locked-in patients. In the
second part I will discuss how ultra-high field fMRI opens new avenues
for future implantable BCI solutions, including decoding of inner speech.
