- This works shows that neural signals representing grip configurations in grasping actions can be reliably decoded from area V6A of the monkey medial posterior parietal cortex, an upstream area of the primate dorsal visual pathway previously thought to code only for proximal joint movements and transformations. This paper is significant for the insights it reveals about neural coding in parietal brain areas, and also because it shows that early signals coming from the dorsomedial visual pathway can be employed in neural hand prostheses, complementing the more precise, but also further delayed signals coming from downstream areas.
