dc.description.abstract | Neurons are the principal cellular elements that underlie the function of the nervous
system, which includes the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral ganglia. These
electrically excitable cells process and transmit information primarily via electrical
signalling through the generation of action potentials. These action potentials can be
recorded in-vivo by placing electrodes in the vicinity of the neuron’s membrane within the
extracellular space. Electrodes measure electric potential fluctuations in the extracellular space. These
fluctuations generally contain two types of activity, low frequency content, also
known as Local Field Potentials (LFPs) and extracellular action potentials (spikes)
which contribute to the higher frequency content. The advancement of neural recording techniques allows for the simultaneous recording of many neurons. It has been estimated that the ability to record
simultaneously from several neurons has been growing exponentially since the 1950s
and it has been predicted that this number doubles every 7 years (Stevenson and
Kording, 2011). The technological advance in neural recording systems demands the
parallel advancement of neural decoding algorithms to analyse and extract information
from these signals automatically and objectively. | |
