Neural atlas draws on recordings from 70 patients
Precision Neuroscience’s “whole-brain interface” is a growing record set assembled across patients, tasks and regions, not a single implant covering the entire brain. The atlas draws on 70 patients, and that scope defines what it can show today and how it may expand later. Reading the map as an aggregation, rather than one brain’s full coverage, is the right frame.
Contextual Prior Lifts MEG Accuracy, Hides Errors
10-06Context improves MEG speech decoding but can also make remaining errors more confident. This preprint argues for retaining both local and contextual evidence.
