Lower-limb BMI : a pathway to restore locomotion and balance in paralysis

The development of Brain-Machine Interfaces (BMIs) has been motivated by insights about neural encoding in the motor cortex, and in particular the evidence that cortical motor neurons encode the direction of movement. However, it is evident that cortical motor neurons encode multiple signals and that encoding may change with task. Of particular interest are the changes that may occur following changes in the motor environment, and, specifically, when switching to operate a BMI. Computation motor control models may facilitate the investigation of these changes and their potential interpretation and decoding. This workshop is targeted at bringing together researchers investigating neural encoding and decoding in the motor cortex, and in particular those working on BMIs, with researchers developing computational motor control models, to further explore neural changes during BMI operation and their potential interpretation within the context of computational motor control. It is expected that such a workshop would both motivate further development of computational motor control models and facilitate the development of BMIs.
