Abstract

Previous decoding algorithms for Brain Machine Interfaces (BMIs) reconstruct the kinematics from recorded activities of hundreds of neurons, which are not all related to the movement task. Decoding from all neurons not only brings problem towards model generalization but also a significant computation burden. Knowledge of neural receptive fields helps ascertain the neuron importance associate with the movements. We propose to apply information theoretical analysis based on an instantaneous tuning model to extract the candidate neuron subsets, which also reduces the computation complexity for the decoding process. The cortical distribution of extracted neuron subsets is analyzed and the statistical decoding performances using neuron subset selection are compared to the one by the full neuron ensemble.
