Event Abstract Back to Event Movement-Related ECoG Signals in the Human Brain Tobias Pistohl1, 2*, Tonio Ball1, 2, Ad Aertsen1, 2, Andreas Schulze-Bonhage1, 2 and Carsten Mehring1, 2 1 BCCN Freiburg, Germany 2 Albert-Ludwigs-University Freiburg , Germany It is a well established fact that some properties of body movements can be decoded from neuronal signals. While most of these results have been obtained in animal experiments, using highly invasive recording techniques, the recent years have seen some studies in humans, often using non- or less-invasive techniques. Here we will present some recent findings from studies using electrocorticograms (ECoG) - intracranial potentials measured on the cortical surface - from epilepsy patients, undergoing presurgical evaluation. We show that we can reliably distinguish between two grasp-types in natural movements, and to some extent predict continuous hand-arm movement trajectories from the ECoG. This might lead to the development of brain-machine interfaces based on cortical surface potentials. Conference: Bernstein Symposium 2008, Munich, Germany, 8 Oct - 10 Oct, 2008.
