He thus doubts whether science can compile a dictionary for
decoding the neural signals corresponding to human memories, which are surely more complex, variable, and context sensitive than those of rats.
These scientists are working on processes such as
decoding neural signals, developing new ways to use neural signals in assistive technology, and mining neural data for more accurate predictors of psychiatric illnesses.

The analysis allowed the researchers to identify and isolate the specific patterns of
neural activity that play out in this part of the brain when someone speaks, effectively enabling them to
decode the brain's
signals.
Because traditional rigid implanted probes are invariably unstable, he explained, researchers and clinicians rely on
decoding what they call the «population average» — essentially taking a host of
neural signals and applying complex computational tools to determine what they mean.
That feat will require
decoding the complex
neural signals that coordinate two legs as they walk together and keep a person upright.
The
neural signals recorded by the electrodes are transmitted via a cable to a computer where algorithms developed in Shenoy's lab
decode the participant's intentions and translate the
signals into movements of a computer cursor.
Designed to be extremely power - efficient, NTU's patented smart chip will analyse and
decode the thousands of
signals from the
neural implants in the brain, before compressing the results and sending it wirelessly to a small external receiver.
