Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for decoding movement intentions using functional ultrasound (fUS) imaging of the brain. In one example, decoding movement intentions include determining a memory phase of a cognitive state of the brain, the memory phase between a gaze fixation phase and movement execution phase, and determining one or more movement intentions including one or more of intended effector (e.g., hand, eye) and intended direction (e.g., right, left) according to a machine learning algorithm trained to classify one or more movement intentions simultaneously.
