Non-motor Brain Regions in Non-dominant Hemisphere Are Influential in Decoding Movement Speed.

ABSTRACT: Sensorimotor control studies have predominantly focused on how motor regions of the brain relay basic movement-related information such as position and velocity. However, motor control is often complex, involving the integration of sensory information, planning, visuomotor tracking, spatial mapping, retrieval and storage of memories, and may even be emotionally driven. This suggests that many more regions in the brain are involved beyond premotor and motor cortices. In this study, we exploited an experimental setup wherein activity from over 87 non-motor structures of the brain were recorded in eight human subjects executing a center-out motor task. The subjects were implanted with depth electrodes for clinical purposes. Using training data, we constructed subject-specific models that rela
