چکیده

To date, the neural decoding of time-evolving physical state – for example, the path of a foraging rat or arm movements – has been largely carried out using linear trajectory models, primarily due to their computational efficiency. The possibility of better capturing the statistics of the movements using nonlinear trajectory models, thereby yielding more accurate decoded trajectories, is enticing. However, nonlinear decoding usually carries a higher computational cost, which is an important consideration in real-time settings. In this paper, we present techniques for nonlinear decoding employing modal Gaussian approximations, expectatation propagation, and Gaussian quadrature. We compare their decoding accuracy versus computation time tradeoffs based on high-dimensional simulated neural spike counts.

A Study on Decoding Models for the Reconstruction of Hand Trajectories from the Human Magnetoencephalography

Decoding neural signals into control outputs has been a key to the development of brain-computer interfaces (BCIs). While many studies have identified neural correlates of kinematics or applied advanced machine learning algorithms to improve decoding performance, relatively less attention has been paid to optimal design of decoding models. For generating continuous movements from neural activit...

Mixture of trajectory models for neural decoding of goal-directed movements.

Probabilistic decoding techniques have been used successfully to infer time-evolving physical state, such as arm trajectory or the path of a foraging rat, from neural data. A vital element of such decoders is the trajectory model, expressing knowledge about the statistical regularities of the movements. Unfortunately, trajectory models that both 1) accurately describe the movement statistics an...

Decoding with limited neural data: a mixture of time-warped trajectory models for directional reaches.

Neuroprosthetic devices promise to allow paralyzed patients to perform the necessary functions of everyday life. However, to allow patients to use such tools it is necessary to decode their intent from neural signals such as electromyograms (EMGs). Because these signals are noisy, state of the art decoders integrate information over time. One systematic way of doing this is by taking into accou...

Which Methodology is Better for Combining Linear and Nonlinear Models for Time Series Forecasting?

Both theoretical and empirical findings have suggested that combining different models can be an effective way to improve the predictive performance of each individual model. It is especially occurred when the models in the ensemble are quite different. Hybrid techniques that decompose a time series into its linear and nonlinear components are one of the most important kinds of the hybrid model...
