ObjectiveA major challenge in designing closed-loop brain-computer interfaces is finding optimal stimulation patterns as a function of ongoing neural activity for different subjects and different objectives. Traditional approaches, such as those currently used for deep brain stimulation, have largely followed a manual trial-and-error strategy to search for effective open-loop stimulation parameters, a strategy that is inefficient and does not generalize to closed-loop activity-dependent stimulation.ApproachTo achieve goal-directed closed-loop neurostimulation, we propose the use of brain co-processors, devices which exploit artificial intelligence to shape neural activity and bridge injured neural circuits for targeted repair and restoration of function. Here we investigate a specific type of co-processor called a'neural co-processor'which uses artificial neural networks and deep learning to learn optimal closed-loop stimulation policies. The co-processor adapts the stimulation policy as the biological circuit itself adapts to the stimulation, achieving a form of brain-device co-adaptation. Here we use simulations to lay the groundwork for future in vivo tests of neural co-processors. We leverage a previously published cortical model of grasping, to which we applied various forms of simulated lesions. We used our simulations to develop the critical learning algorithms and study adaptations to non-stationarity in preparation for future in vivo tests.Main resultsOur simulations show the ability of a neural co-processor to learn a stimulation policy using a supervised learning approach, and to adapt that policy as the underlying brain and sensors change. Our co-processor successfully co-adapted with the simulated brain to accomplish the reach-and-grasp task after a variety of lesions were applied, achieving recovery towards healthy function in the range 75%–90%.SignificanceOur results provide the first proof-of-concept demonstration, using computer simulations, of a neural co-processor for adaptive activity-dependent closed-loop neurostimulation for optimizing a rehabilitation goal after injury. While a significant gap remains between simulations and in vivo applications, our results provide insights on how such co-processors may eventually be developed for learning complex adaptive stimulation policies for a variety of neural rehabilitation and neuroprosthetic applications.
