Abstract
A brain-machine interface is provided that incorporates a neural dynamical structure in the control of a prosthetic device to restore motor function and is able to significantly enhance the control performance compared to existing technologies. In one example, a neural dynamical state is inferred from neural observations, which are obtained from a neural implant. In another example, the neural dynamical state can be inferred from both the obtained neural observations and from the kinematics. A controller interfaced with the prosthetic device uses the inferred neural dynamical state as input to the controller to control kinematic variables of the prosthetic device.
