Talk abstract

Brain computer interfaces (BCIs) are devices that decode neural information from the brain to allow people to control objects in their environment using their thoughts. The ongoing multi-site BrainGate2 clinical trial has demonstrated that people with paralysis -- from degenerative neurological diseases, spinal cord injuries, and strokes -- can reliably control computer cursors, robotic arms, and even their own paralyzed limbs. In this presentation I will discuss the principles of BCI design, modern approaches to BCI decoding algorithms, and growth opportunities for this technology.

The objectives of the talk are:

1. Describe the components of a brain computer interface (BCI)

2. Describe how an intracranial BCI can be used for communication

3. Describe some limitations in modern intracranial BCI technology
