NEURAL PROSTHETIC USING TEMPORAL STRUCTURE IN THE LOCAL FIELD POTENTIAL

摘要

Neural prosthetic using temporal structure in the local field potential is disclosed. In one embodiment, neural activity of a subject is measured with an implant (804) in the sensory motor cortex (802) of the subject and is used to predict an intended movement. The measured neural activity may be the local field potential (LFP) at an electrode or single unit (SU) activity. The spectral structure of the LFP and SU activity may be estimated using spectral analysis techniques. The estimated LFP and SU responses may be used to predict an intended movement by the subject.
