DESCRIPTION:Prof. Jose L. Contreras-Vidal\, University of Houston\nIt is g
 enerally thought that the signal-to-noise ratio\, the bandwidth\, and the 
 information content of neural data acquired via non-invasive scalp electro
 encephalography (EEG) are insufficient to extract detailed information abo
 ut natural\, multi-joint movements of the upper and lower limbs. In this t
 alk\, I challenge this assumption by demonstrating continuous decoding of 
 linear and angular kinematics of upper and lower-limb movements and natura
 l reach-to-grasp gestures from neural data acquired from slow cortical pot
 entials measured using a plurality of scalp EEG electrodes. These data dem
 onstrate the feasibility for designing non-invasive neural interfaces to r
 obotic systems for restoration and rehabilitation of motor function in cli
 nical populations with diminished sensory and motor function\, and suggest
  that we still do not know the limits of scalp EEG as a source signal for 
 studying the neural representation of movement at the macro-scale.
