Decoding Neural Activity with Deep Learning
Te cory of many neural interfaces is thee decoder, which translates recorded neural activity into commands - such as s cursor movement or prostetic limb velocity. Deep learning decoder have shown superior performance compared to linear decoder (like thee Wiener filter) in handling the high-dimensional, non- stationary neural data.
Convolutional neural networks (CNN) can extract spatial model across electrode arrays, while long short-term memory (LSTM) networks capture temporal dynamics of firing rates. A landmark study from the BrainGate consortium demonstranted that a recurrent neural network decoder could maintain high performance for over 1,000 days with out recalibration, even as individuaal nerons changed their tuning performanties.
