Intracortical brain-computer interface for navigation in virtual reality in macaque monkeys
Abstract We present an innovative intracortical brain-computer interface (BCI) to bridge the gap between laboratory settings and real-world applications. This BCI approach introduces three key advancements. First, we used neural signals from three macaque brain regions—primary motor, dorsal, and ventral premotor cortex—enabling precise and flexible decoding of real-time three-dimensional (3D) sphere/avatar velocities.
An intracortical brain-machine interface based on macaque ventral premotor activity - Scientific Reports
Abstract The majority of brain-machine interface (BMI) studies have focused on decoding intended movements based on neural activity of primary motor (M1) and dorsal premotor cortex (PMd). The ventral premotor cortex (PMv), and more specifically area F5c, has been implicated in object grasping and action observation, and may represent an alternative for motor BMI control due to its phasic modulation during action observation.

Fine-grained neural coding of bodies and body parts in human visual cortex
Abstract The visual image of a human body provides a valuable source of socially relevant information. However, our understanding of the neuronal mechanisms underlying body perception in humans remains limited given the spatiotemporal constraints of functional imaging. Here we recorded multi-unit spiking activity in two neurosurgical patients in or near the extrastriate body area (EBA), a critical region for body perception.

Visual selectivity and motor role of action observation/execution neurons in macaque ventral premotor cortex
Abstract Summary Neurons responding during action execution and action observation were discovered in the ventral premotor cortex three decades ago. However, neither the minimum visual features nor the motor involvement of Action Observation/Execution Neurons (AOENs) have been revealed at present. We investigated the minimal visual stimulus for activation and the involvement in motor behavior of AOENs in ventral premotor area F5c of four macaques.

Correction: Single-cell selectivity and functional architecture of human lateral occipital complex
In Table 1, the values for the left hemisphere (LH) hMT x-value and the right hemisphere (RH) hMT x-value are incorrect. The LH hMT x-value was previously listed as 54 and should be -54. The RH hMT x-value was previously listed as 21 but should be 51. The corrected Table 1 is provided below, the legend remains unchanged.
