ENHANCED BRAIN-MACHINE INTERFACES WITH NEUROMODULATION
First Claim
1. An enhanced brain-machine interface with neuromodulation, the enhanced brain-machine interface comprising:
- a neural interface and a controllable device in communication with the neural interface,wherein the neural interface comprises;
a neural device having one or more sensors for collecting signals of interest, wherein the neural device is configured to administer neuromodulation stimulation; and
one or more processors and a non-transitory computer-readable medium having executable instructions encoded thereon such that when executed, the one or more processors perform an operation of;
conditioning the signals of interest, resulting in conditioned signals of interest;
extracting salient neural features from the conditioned signals of interest;
decoding the salient neural features, providing a mapping between an input neural feature space and an output control space for the controllable device;
based on the mapping, generating at least one control command for the controllable device;
causing the controllable device to perform one or more operations according to the at least one control command; and
causing the neural device to administer neuromodulation stimulation to reinforce operation of the controllable device.
