Movement intent decoders, which interpret volitional movement intent from human bioelectric signals, can be incorporated into modern neuroprostheses to offer people living with limb loss or paralysis the potential to regain their lost motor control. Machine learning methods have become the research standard for continuous decoders with high degrees of...
