Show abstract
Learning a map from movement to neural data (Encoding Problem) and vice versa (Decoding Problem) are crucial to understanding motor control. A principled encoding model that understands underlying neural dynamics can help better solve the decoding problem. Here, we develop a new generative encoding model leveraging deep learning that autonomously captures neural dynamics. After training, the model can synthesize spike trains given any observed kinematics, under the guidance of the learned neural dynamics. When neural data from other sessions or subjects are limited, synthesized spike trains can improve cross-session and cross-subject decoding performance of a Brain Computer Interface decoder. For cross-subject, even with ample data for both subjects, neural dynamics learned from a previous subject can transfer useful knowledge that improves the best achievable decoding performance for the new subject. The approach is general and fully data-driven, and hence could apply to neuroscience encoding and decoding problems beyond motor control.

"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.
