Outline

A neural decoding has been developed to infer human thoughts and actions from the brain signals. In this study, I will record high quality brain signals from the intracranial electrodes implanted in human patients simultaneously with their life-log data. By transforming the data into a sharable big data, I will develop a novel technique to predict human thoughts and actions precisely. The developed techniques will be applied for an innovative communication device and new treatment method for various psychiatric diseases.
