Here we present a protocol which characterizes the sense of agency developed over the control of sensate virtual or robotic prosthetic hands. Psychophysical questionnaires are employed to capture the explicit experience of agency, and time interval estimates (intentional binding) are employed to implicitly measure the sense of agency.
FAQs
Signal transformation occurs through a sequence of recording, processing, decoding, and command generation. Implanted electrodes or noninvasive sensors capture neural activity, while signal-processing methods prepare those measurements for computational algorithms. The algorithms decode patterns associated with movement or intention and translate them into commands for a cursor, robotic limb, or communication system.
Neural recordings do not directly function as device instructions, so processing and decoding provide the link between brain activity and technology. Signal processing helps prepare recorded activity, and computational algorithms identify patterns that represent movement, sensation, or intention. Their performance influences whether a system can convert neural information into useful external-device commands.
The two approaches differ in how they obtain neural activity: implanted electrodes record signals from within the body, whereas noninvasive sensors measure activity without implantation. Both can supply data for processing and decoding, but electrode design and recording approach remain important areas of BMI development. These factors can affect control, usability, and clinical integration.
A typical workflow begins by recording neural activity with implanted electrodes or noninvasive sensors. The system then processes the recorded signals and applies computational decoding to identify patterns related to movement, sensation, or intention. Finally, it translates those decoded patterns into commands for an external device, such as a robotic limb, cursor, or communication system.
Supported outputs include robotic limbs, computer cursors, and communication systems. These devices receive commands generated after neural activity has been recorded, processed, and decoded. Such control is especially relevant to assistive technology for people with paralysis or motor impairments, because it can provide a technology-mediated route for interacting with an external system.
In neuroscience, BMIs provide a way to investigate how brain signals represent movement, sensation, and intention. Researchers can examine these representations while connecting neural activity to external-device control. The same framework also supports development of assistive technologies, linking basic study of neural coding with practical efforts to improve control, usability, and clinical integration.
