From brain imaging to predicting movement

Caption

A diagram illustrating how a new type of ultrasound is used to image a motor-planning region of the brain in non-human primates. The neural activity shown in those brain images was then decoded with a machine learning algorithm to correspond with movements. This process was shown to accurately predict movements even before they happened.
