Single-trial dynamics of motor cortex and their applications to brain-machine interfaces.

abstract：:The modern understanding of sleep is based on the classification of sleep into stages defined by their electroencephalography (EEG) signatures, but the underlying brain dynamics remain unclear. Here we aimed to move significantly beyond the current state-of-the-art description of sleep, and in particular to characteri...
