The ability to stably decode brain activity is crucial for brain-machine interfaces (BMIs), which are often compromised by recording instability due to immune responses and probe drifting. In addition, many brain regions undergo intrinsic dynamics such as "representational drift", in which neural activities associated with stable sensation and action continually change over time. In this study, we employed tissue-like flexible electrode arrays for recording visual stimulus-dependent single-unit action potentials in the mouse visual cortex. The flexible electrode array enabled us to record action potentials from the same neurons over extended periods under visual stimuli, allowing us to characterize the representational drift during these stimuli. With this approach, we tested hypotheses about the origins and mechanisms of representational drift, tracked latent dynamics transformation, and modeled these dynamics with affine transformation. Our findings enabled the construction of a single, long-term stable, high-performance visual information decoder that accounts for representational drift, potentiating chronically stable flexible BMIs in brain regions experiencing representational drifts.

"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.
