Using fMRI to localize target regions for implanted brain-computer interfaces in locked-in syndrome

CONCLUSIONS: Our findings indicate that fMRI is a useful non-invasive tool for the pre-surgical workup of BCI implant candidates.SIGNIFICANCE: If these results are confirmed in more BCI studies, fMRI might be used for more efficient surgical BCI procedures with focused cortical coverage and lower participant burden.PMID:37657190 | DOI:10.1016/j.clinph.2023.08.003
