Deafferented controllers: a fundamental failure mechanism in cortical neuroprosthetic systems.

abstract：:When making decisions, people are typically differently sensitive to gains and losses according to the motivational context in which the choice is performed. As hypothesized by Regulatory Focus Theory (RFT), indeed, goals are supposed to change in relation to the set of possible outcomes. In particular, in a promotion...
