Introduction
Research on neural encoding and decoding has implications for our understanding of brain functioning mechanisms, the treatment of brain disorders, and the development of brain-computer interfaces and machine intelligence. Moreover, prostheses, robots, mice, and other devices that fully realize “brain control technology” are becoming a reality .
In recent years, due to the rapid development of neural networks, deep learning methods have gradually played a positive role in neural decoding .
Some studies still attempt to explore whether neural data have certain inherent properties from an unsupervised and weakly supervised perspective .
Due to the complexity and difficulty in understanding this framework, further research is needed to explore the generation of symmetric mechanisms and the processing details of data in this system for the development of this framework.
Research Question
Although some progress has been made based on this discovered symmetry as a basic hypothesis, the specific reason for this symmetry remains unknown.
Methodology
At present, neural encoding is a functional model where neurons encode rich and intensive external stimuli into dynamic, time-varying neural activities, exploring the functional relationship between dynamic sensory stimuli and neural responses . Neural decoding is the restoration of external stimuli through a set of signals emitted by neurons, such as motion positions , image classification, and speech recognition.
Study Design
Here, “symmetry” refers to the unsupervised decoded trajectory showing a certain degree of symmetry with the actual trajectory within the activity space in the navigation task of brain neural data.
Section 3 describes the unsupervised method and correction approach adopted in this paper.
