“…Next to their clinical importance, invasive recordings offer unique opportunities for electrophysiological investigations of human brain function with high spatial and temporal accuracy. An increasing number of studies have recently investigated motor Brovelli et al, 2005;Crone et al, 1998;Rektor, 2000;Szurhaj et al, 2006), sensory (Crone et al, 2001a;Edwards et al, 2005;Steinschneider et al, 2005), and cognitive (Canolty et al, 2006;Crone et al, 2001b;Ray et al, 2008;Sederberg et al, 2007;Sinai et al, 2005) systems using invasive EEG data. Furthermore, ECoG recordings have been proposed as a technology for brain-machine interfaces (BMIs) for neuronal motor prostheses in paralyzed patients (Ball et al, 2009;Leuthardt et al, 2004;Mehring et al, 2004;Pistohl et al, 2008;Schalk et al, 2007).…”
