Abstract: Disclosed in the present invention is a method for decoding Chinese character writing for an invasive brain-computer interface. In a practical application, a corresponding motor neural signal is divided into two states of a writing stroke and a writing stroke break in view of inconsistency of the writing stroke and the writing stroke break during Chinese character writing, and different filters are trained. A hidden markov model (HMM algorithm) and a Viterbi algorithm are used to judge a task state of the motor neural signal, and the corresponding signal is put into a corresponding decoder. The present invention effectively reduces influence of difference of neural data in different states on the decoder, and improves the performance and robustness of the decoder.
