Nudge and shove: frequency thresholding for navigation in direct brain-computer interfaces

ABSTRACT

Direct control of a computer from the human brain has been made possible by the development of an implanted electrode. This paper describes new paradigms of computer screen navigation adapted for neural signal control.
