Neural Decoding II
Continuous Variables
Pascal Wallisch
In this chapter, you will look at how to decode a continuous, time-varying stimulus from neuronal signals. Specifically, this chapter will address how to decode the instantaneous hand position from a population of motor cortical neurons recorded from a macaque monkey. You will also see how information about how the hand position changes over time can be used to improve your decoding.
