Main Methods:

Developed a novel algorithm based on sparse decomposition of high-dimensional neuronal feature space.
Projected neuronal features onto a low-dimensional code space for classification.
Tested the algorithm using simulations and recordings from 1592 neurons in 23 neurosurgical patients.

Main Results:

The algorithm automatically selects relevant neurons for decoding.
Achieved significantly higher accuracies compared to existing methods in both simulations and human data.
Demonstrated a parameter estimation algorithm that is orders of magnitude faster than existing methods.

Conclusions:

Sparse decoding offers a highly effective and efficient approach for brain-machine interfaces.
The developed algorithm improves accuracy and speed in decoding volitional actions.
