Neural prostheses have generally relied on signals from cortical motor regions to control reaching movements of a robotic arm. However, little work has been done in exploring the involvement of nonmotor cortical and associative regions during motor tasks. In this study, we identify regions which may encode direction during planning and movement of a center-out motor task. Local field potentials were collected using stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) from nine epilepsy patients implanted with multiple depth electrodes for clinical purposes. Spectral analysis of the recorded data was performed using nonparametric statistical techniques to identify regions that may encode direction of movements during the motor task. The analysis revealed several nonmotor regions; including the right insular cortex, right temporal pole, right superior parietal lobule, and the right lingual gyrus, that encode directionality before and after movement onset. We observed that each of these regions encode direction in different frequency bands. This preliminary study suggests that nonmotor regions may be useful in assisting in neural prosthetic control.
