MI-Motor Model System properties? Corticalactivity Muscle output How time-invariant is this system ? How does the model compare in task and free behaviours ? Can we alter the system properties ? JM
MI-Motor Model Findings: • Over several neurons and muscles, aspects of the system are linear and time-invariant. • The relationships translate from task to free-behaviour as well as from day to day. • Advantageous for neural prosthetics:Parameters for limb mechanics can possibly be learnt during a training segment and applied during a wide range of daily activities.

Motor cortex plasticity induced by Neurochip conditioning Movements evoked from the recording site changed to resemble those evoked from the stimulation site. JM
Motor cortex plasticity induced by Neurochip conditioning • Additional findings: • Timing from spike to stimulation is critical. Delay of 20 ms produced strongest conditioning effect. • Conditioning effects last for several days. Useful for repairing damage caused by spinal chord injury or neural disorder. JM
