1. A method for controlling a device comprising:
- providing a sensor sensing electrical activity of a plurality of neurons over time;
generating a neural control vector by storing the sensed electrical activity of the plurality of neurons at each of successive time bins;
providing a control filter;
calculating an innerproduct between the neural control vector and the control filter to provide a control variable; and
controlling an output device with the control variable.

Abstract
A system using neurological control signals to control a device is disclosed. The system may include a sensor sensing electrical activity of a plurality of neurons over time and a vector generator generating a neural control vector from the sensed electrical activity of the plurality of neurons over time. The system may also include a control filter to which the neural control vector is applied to provide a control variable and an output device controlled by the control variable.
