Abstract: Systems and methods of controlling a device using detected changes in a neural-related signal of a subject are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method of controlling a device or software application comprises detecting a first change in a neural-related signal of a subject, detecting a second change in the neural-related signal, and transmitting an input command to the device upon or following the detection of the second change in the neural-related signal. The neural-related signal can be detected using a neural interface implanted within a brain of the subject.

Abstract: Decoders for use in brain-computer interfaces (BCI) using contextual data to contextually decode a neural signal from an individual using the BCI and into some actionable command that allows the BCI to interact with a device coupled to the BCI.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus for controlling a device based on the detection of transient oscillatory or pseudo-oscillatory bursts are disclosed. For example, a method can comprise detecting one or more transient oscillatory or pseudo-oscillatory bursts from an ongoing neural signal recording of a subject. The method can also comprise extracting one or more burst features from the one or more transient oscillatory or pseudo-oscillatory bursts detected within a detection period. The method can also comprise predicting a thought generated or conjured by the subject or a change in mental state evoked by the subject by applying at least one of a machine learning algorithm and a feature threshold to the one or more burst features extracted within the detection period. An input command associated with the prediction can be transmitted to the device in order to control the device.
