Real-time neural signal processing is essential for brain-machine interfaces and closed-loop neuronal perturbations. However, most existing applications sacrifice cell-specific identity and temporal spiking information for speed. We developed a hybrid hardware-software system that utilizes a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) chip to acquire and process data in parallel, enabling individual spikes from many simultaneously recorded neurons to be assigned single-neuron identities with 1-millisecond latency. The FPGA assigns labels, validated with ground-truth data, by comparing multichannel spike waveforms from tetrode or silicon probe recordings to a spike-sorted model generated offline in software. This platform allowed us to rapidly inactivate a region in vivo based on spikes from an upstream neuron before these spikes could excite the downstream region. Furthermore, we could decode animal location within 3 ms using data from a population of individual hippocampal neurons. These results demonstrate our systems suitability for a broad spectrum of research and clinical applications.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
