Electrocorticography (ECoG) offers a powerful and versatile platform for developing brain-computer interfaces; it avoids the risks of brain-invasive methods such as intracortical implants while providing significantly higher signal-to-noise ratio than noninvasive techniques such as electroencephalography. The authors demonstrate that both contra- and ipsilateral finger movements can be discriminated from ECoG signals recorded from a single brain hemisphere. The ECoG activation patterns over sensorimotor areas for contra- and ipsilateral movements were found to overlap to a large degree in the recorded hemisphere. Ipsilateral movements, however, produced less pronounced activity compared with contralateral movements. The authors also found that single-trial classification of movements could be improved by selecting patient-specific frequency components in high-frequency bands (> 50 Hz). Their discovery that ipsilateral hand movements can be discriminated from ECoG signals from a single hemisphere has important implications for neurorehabilitation, suggesting in particular the possibility of regaining ipsilateral movement control using signals from an intact hemisphere after damage to the other hemisphere.

D009044 Motor Cortex Area of the FRONTAL LOBE concerned with primary motor control located in the dorsal PRECENTRAL GYRUS immediately anterior to the central sulcus. It is comprised of three areas: the primary motor cortex located on the anterior paracentral lobule on the medial surface of the brain; the premotor cortex located anterior to the primary motor cortex; and the supplementary motor area located on the midline surface of the hemisphere anterior to the primary motor cortex.

D009068 Movement The act, process, or result of passing from one place or position to another. It differs from LOCOMOTION in that locomotion is restricted to the passing of the whole body from one place to another, while movement encompasses both locomotion but also a change of the position of the whole body or any of its parts. Movement may be used with reference to humans, vertebrate and invertebrate animals, and microorganisms. Differentiate also from MOTOR ACTIVITY, movement associated with behavior. Movements
