Abstract in brief

  • The nervous system must balance stability and adaptability in neural representations, particularly for well-practiced actions in humans.
  • Using a brain-computer interface (BCI) with tetraplegic participants, the study found that while the representations of imagined movements were stable, there was a small day-to-day variation.
  • The findings revealed that neural statistics could be adjusted to improve performance during BCI use, allowing for effective control of robotic limbs through practice and showing how the brain can adapt its representations over time.

Un uomo paralizzato ha controllato un braccio robotico con il pensiero grazie a un'interfaccia neurale, che, per la prima volta, ha funzionato per 7 mesi senza regolazioni.
