Motor task detection using electrophysiological signals

A system comprising:

• a first plurality of probes configured to detect electrophysiological signals when inserted into a human brain;
• a second plurality of probes configured to detect electrophysiological signals when inserted into a human brain;
• an electronic data storage;
• and
• a processor electronically coupled with the first plurality of probes, the second plurality of probes;
• and the electronic data storage, wherein the processor performs at least the following:
• receiving a first plurality of electrophysiological signals from the first plurality of probes;
• recording the first plurality of electrophysiological signals in the electronic data storage;
• receiving a second plurality of electrophysiological signals from the second plurality of probes;
• recording the second plurality of electrophysiological signals in the electronic data storage;
• pre-processing the first plurality of electrophysiological signals and the second plurality of electrophysiological signals;
• bipolar re-referencing the first plurality of electrophysiological signals and the second plurality of electrophysiological signals;
• determining an optimal pair of electrophysiological signals from the bipolar re-referenced first plurality of electrophysiological signals and the bipolar re-referenced second plurality of electrophysiological signals;
• matching the optimal pair of electrophysiological signals with a brain excitation template stored within the electronic data storage;
• and
• detecting motor events based on the matching.
