• Exploring the constraints on neural plasticity during BMI learning

This project aims to investigate the neural plasticity of the brain in adapting to BMI interfaces. Brain Machine Interfaces (BMIs) connect the brain to a computer system in a bid to replace any motor deficits of a patient and to restore normal function as much as possible. The plasticity of the brain causes the signals produced initially by the brain to change as it adapts to the BMI interface. Understanding the changes of brain electrical activity after adaptation will contribute to our understanding of the brain’s plasticity.
