Intracortical brain computer interfaces (iBCIs) using linear Kalman decoders have enabled individuals with paralysis to control a computer cursor for continuous point-and-click typing on a virtual keyboard, browsing the internet, and using familiar tablet apps. However, further advances are needed to deliver iBCI-enabled cursor control approaching able-bodied performance. Motivated by recent evidence that nonlinear recurrent neural networks (RNNs) can provide higher performance iBCI cursor control in nonhuman prim…
