Right/Left Movement Predictions

Caption

In the study a patient implanted with electrodes only on the left side of the brain was asked to make movements to 8 targets in 3D space with both their right and left arms. Using recordings from these electrodes, the authors were able to predict the hand speed, direction, and position for both arms showing that movements of both arms are encoded on one side of the brain.
