Although the motor cortex has been mapped in animal models at a fine scale1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10, characterization in humans remains primarily limited to low-resolution recording11,12,13,14,15,16 and stimulation techniques17,18,19,20.

Abstract Here, recognizing keyboard typing as a familiar, high information rate communication paradigm, we developed an intracortical brain–computer interface (iBCI) typing neuroprosthesis providing bimanual QWERTY keyboard functionality for people with paralysis. Typing with this iBCI involves only attempted finger movements, which are decoded accurately with as few as 30 calibration sentences. Sentence decoding is improved using a 5-gram language model.
