How can we train a BCI to produce precise hand movements? Our paper published today in Neuron provides one possibility! We show that the abundant hand posture-related information in the grasping circuit can be used for precise grasp control.

Accurate neural control of a hand prosthesis by posture-related activity in the primate grasping circuit
Hand posture is amply represented in the cortex, but brain-computer interfaces (BCIs)
have not fully leveraged this signal. Agudelo-Toro et al. developed a method allowing
subjects to control a virtua...
