An Accurate and Rapidly Calibrating Speech Neuroprosthesis.

N Engl J Med

August 2024

From the Departments of Neurological Surgery (N.S.C., M.W., C.I., X.H., T.S.-C., M.V.N., A.S., K.S., S.D.S., D.M.B.), Computer Science (X.H., M.V.N.), and Biomedical Engineering (T.S.-C., A.S.), University of California, Davis, Davis, and the Departments of Neurosurgery (D.R.D., E.Y.C., J.M.H.), Ele

Background: Brain-computer interfaces can enable communication for people with paralysis by transforming cortical activity associated with attempted speech into text on a computer screen. Communication with brain-computer interfaces has been restricted by extensive training requirements and limited accuracy.

Methods: A 45-year-old man with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) with tetraparesis and severe dysarthria underwent surgical implantation of four microelectrode arrays into his left ventral precentral gyrus 5 years after the onset of the illness; these arrays recorded neural activity from 256 intracortical electrodes.

Cognitive Motor Dissociation in Disorders of Consciousness.

N Engl J Med

August 2024

From the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital (Y.G.B., J.T.G.), and the Athinoula A. Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging, Massachusetts General Hospital (B.L.E.), Charlestown, and the Center for Neurotechnology and Neurorecovery, Massachusetts Gene

Background: Patients with brain injury who are unresponsive to commands may perform cognitive tasks that are detected on functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and electroencephalography (EEG). This phenomenon, known as cognitive motor dissociation, has not been systematically studied in a large cohort of persons with disorders of consciousness.

Methods: In this prospective cohort study conducted at six international centers, we collected clinical, behavioral, and task-based fMRI and EEG data from a convenience sample of 353 adults with disorders of consciousness.
