Sentences with phrase «of neural signals»

The electrodes will be programmed to search for specific types of neural signals — for example, those corresponding to a subject's desire to move her hand rather than her foot.

If the monkey's arm is tied down, the monkey learns to control the robot arm through pure thought — but with an entirely different set of neural signals.

This is important, Brandman said, to make the system as easy to use as possible for the user, while capitalizing on the richness and complexity of the neural signals recorded from the motor cortex.

The researchers found that Rh7 could functionally substitute for Rh1 in flies missing Rh1, as measured by electroretinogram, which is an extracellular recording of a neural signal in the fly eye in response to light.

Thin - film microelectrode arrays produced at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) have enabled development of an automated system to sort brain activity by individual neurons, a technology that could open the door to recording and analyzing unprecedented amounts of neural signals over time...

The BrainGate research was praised for «enabling a new understanding of human brain function and the development of a novel, fully - implanted platform neurotechnology capable of wirelessly transmitting large numbers of neural signals from multiple types of sensors for use in Brain Computer Interface, epilepsy monitoring, and neuromodulation applications.»

Kennedy is the chief scientist of Neural Signals, a company he founded in 1987 to develop a brain - computer interface, or BCI, though he prefers the term «neural prosthetics.»

«We will look at how a code of neural signals is sent to the brain, to see if it is in fact faster than with other animals and whether it has other advantages,» says Marshall.

Because traditional rigid implanted probes are invariably unstable, he explained, researchers and clinicians rely on decoding what they call the «population average» — essentially taking a host of neural signals and applying complex computational tools to determine what they mean.

Burkhart trained the system to connect patterns of neural signals to specific movements by repeatedly mirroring the movements of an imaginary hand on a computer screen.

«Our findings redefine oxytocin as something completely different from a «love drug,» but more as an amplifier and suppressor of neural signals in the brain,» says study senior investigator Robert Froemke, PhD, an assistant professor at NYU Langone and its Skirball Institute of Biomolecular Medicine.

Working with dot - counting mice running through a virtual - reality maze, scientists from Harvard Medical School have found that in order to navigate space rodent brains rely on a cascade of neural signals that culminate in a single decision that prompts the animal to choose one direction over another.

Schwann cells form a protective myelin sheath around nerves, which acts as insulation to ensure rapid transmission of neural signals to limbs and other parts of the body.

I've tried to classify illusions in a way that shows the principles underlying them, starting with physical causes, moving on to physiological disturbances of neural signals, and finally to cognitive processes — where the brain tries to make sense of sensory signals, not always successfully.

The precise timing of neural signals appears to be crucial in controlling the elaborate vocal patterns that have fascinated human listeners for centuries (bottom, excerpt from Olivier Messaien's Oiseaux exotiques, which was based on Messaien's transcriptions of birdsong).
