Real-time Closed Loop Neural Decoding on a Neuromorphic chip

This paper presents for the first time a real-time closed loop neuromorphic decoder chip-driven intra-cortical brain machine interface (iBMI) in a non-human primate (NHP) based experimental setup. Decoded results show trial success rates and mean times to target comparable to those obtained by hand-controlled joystick. Neural control trial success rates of ≈ 96% of those obtained by hand-controlled joystick have been demonstrated. Also, neural...
