Voxel based morphometry (VBM), a technique that gives a probabilistic measure of local grey matter (GM) and white matter concentration, has been used to study ASD patients: modifications in GM volume ...

was achieved by mapping virtual inputs to signals sent by a region of the brain that controls the fingers, the left precentral gyrus, which is where the brain computer interface (BCI) was implanted.

According to Nature, the brain-computer interface was implanted in the participant's left precentral gyrus, the region of the brain responsible for controlling fine movements of the hand and fingers.

This valuable study shows that a very slow (infraslow) oscillation occurs in voltage recordings from the dentate gyrus of the adult mouse ... various frequency and time domains across different brain ...

Researchers implanted the device in the person’s left precentral gyrus brain region responsible for hand movement control. The device continuously records the electrical activity of nerve cells ...
