Capturing spike train temporal pattern with wavelet average coefficient for brain machine interface

Abstract Motor brain machine interfaces (BMIs) directly link the brain to artificial actuators and have the potential to mitigate severe body paralysis caused by neurological injury or disease. Most BMI systems involve a decoder that analyzes neural spike counts to infer movement intent. However, ma...
