Abstract
The present invention provides a processed neural signal that encodes a reach plan, comprising the target location of the planned encoded relative to an eye-centered reference frame. The present invention also provides methods for generating and decoding the processed neural signal.
Claims25
A processed neural signal that encodes a representation of a reach plan of a subject relative to an eye-centered reference frame of the subject.
A method for generating a processed neural signal that encodes a reach plan of a subject relative to an eye-centered reference frame of the subject, the steps comprising:
- a) acquiring a neural signal from the subject using a sensor;
- b) isolating the neural signal so acquired;
- c) determining whether the neural signal so acquired encodes the reach plan;
- and
- d) selecting the neural signal that encodes the reach plan relative to the eye-centered reference frame of the subject so as to generate the processed neural signal.
