Abstract

Individuals with tetraplegia are able to type self-paced for hours across multiple days using a self-calibrating point-and-click intracortical brain-computer interface.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Earlier intracortical studies found that after paralysis, motor cortex still encodes intended reaching, grasping, and cursor movements.

    “Prior BCI studies have shown that the motor intention for gross motor skills, such as reaching, grasping or moving a computer cursor, remains neurally encoded in motor cortex after paralysis1–7.”
  • Differences in average firing rates observed between two behaviors collected in separate blocks could be due to spurious drifts in firing rates known to occur across time.

    “any differences in average firing rates observed between two behaviors collected in separate blocks could be due to spurious drifts in firing rates known to occur across time63,64.”
  • The isolated verbal behavior experiments did not allow assessment of differences in neural representation between behaviors because differences between blocks could also be caused by spurious neural nonstationarity known to occur in microelectrode array recordings.

    “While the ‘isolated ’verbal behavior experiments (section 3) allowed us to explore a large number of behaviors, it did not allow us to assess differences in neural representation between behaviors, because any differences between blocks could also be caused by spurious neural nonstationarity known to be occur in microelectrode array recordings63,64.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
