  • We show that nonlinear latent factors and structures in neural population activity can be modelled in a manner that allows for flexible dynamical inference, causally, non-causally and in the presence of missing neural observations. Further, the developed neural network model improves the prediction of neural activity, behaviour and latent neural structures.

  • A new study shows that mapping neural signals directly to word sequences produces lower error rates in speech decoding than previous methods that use motor or auditory based features. This suggests that using higher-level language goals can aid decoding algorithms for neural speech prostheses.

  • The impaired brain is often difficult to restore, owing to our limited knowledge of the complex nervous system. Accumulating knowledge in systems neuroscience, combined with the development of innovative technologies, may enable brain restoration in patients with nervous system disorders that are currently untreatable. The Neuroprosthetics in Systems Neuroscience and Medicine Collection provides a platform for interdisciplinary research in neuroprosthetics.
