We hypothesize that deep networks are superior to linear decoders at recovering visual stimuli from neural activity. Using high-resolution, multielectrode Neuropixels recordings, we verify this is the case for a simple feed-forward deep neural network having just 7 layers. These results suggest that these feed-forward neural networks and perhaps more complex deep architectures will give superior performance in a visual brain-machine interface.

<p>Communication technologies are constantly transforming the way we communicate and interact with each other, and with our environment, with its impact affecting everyone including disabled people and the groups linked to them. The brain-machine interface (BMI) is one example of an emerging communication technology envisioned to transform the way we communicate and interact with each other and our environment in the near future. One group targeted to use BMI technology and impacted by others using BMI are disabled people. For disabled people and their families, the impact and implications of adopting BMI technologies is important to understand so they can make informed decisions and advocate for policies governing the technology's application to decrease negative and increase positive outcomes. In this study, we interviewed nine mothers of disabled children, with no prior knowledge of BMI technology, to explore their perceptions and attitude toward the technology. Five main themes emerged from our findings: the potential benefit to aid mothers to interpret their children's needs; the potential benefit to expand a child's social network; the preference for non-invasive BMI approach; impact of BMI use by non-disabled people and cost and qualification barriers.</p>

Brain-computer interface (BCI) technology or brain-machine interface (BMI) technology has become the most attractive field for researchers in various disciplines and has occupied an important place in many scientific and even recreational applications. This review first highlights the different and most frequently used methods for implementing brain-computer interface (BCI) systems with a focus on non-invasive BCI models. Secondly, it analyzes the different stages of building a BCI system (input stage, signal processing stage, and output stage). Then it compares the different methods in terms of the algorithms used and the pros and cons. The aim of the study is to find the most adequate and price method to record the EEG by means of electrodes placed on the scalp. Then some features will be extracted from the EEG and sent to a classifier, whose response is translated features into some action whose execution provides feedback to the user.
