<p>A device and method for decoding neuronal responses wherein sequences of potentials from neurons are monitored while specific motor tasks are carried out, and these sequences are characterized using order statistics and subsequently the order statistics are used to decode action potentials representing unidentified motor tasks to determine the desired motor task. The invention also offers methods of formulating instructions for a prosthetic device. The device of the invention comprises a prosthetic limb, a device capable of making said prosthetic limb carry out motor tasks, a device capable of recording action potentials from neurons, and a device containing instructions for monitoring neurons, calculating cumulative density functions, utilizing order statistics, and determining instructions for various motor tasks.</p> |
