Abstract :
The paper presents a review of our neural prosthesis research program and provides a brief introduction to the field. We focus on four key problems: sensing, neural encoding, neural decoding, and interface design. We explore these problems and present our current solutions which have led to the direct cortical control of unconstrained 2D cursor movement.
