Bidirectional control of a one-dimensional robotic actuator by operant conditioning of a single unit in rat motor cortex

The design of efficient neuroprosthetic devices has become a major challenge for the long-term goal of restoring autonomy to motor-impaired patients. One approach for brain control of actuators consists in decoding the activity pattern obtained by simultaneously recording large neuronal ensembles in...
