Sensomotory encoder with learning capability for a neuroprosthesis

The invention relates to an adaptive sensorimotor encoder, having a central control unit (3) for signal processing functions, monitoring functions, control functions and / or external intervention functions, with a group of adaptive spatiotemporal filters for converting sensor signals into stimulation pulse trains, and with an interface (2) for Coupling of the encoder (3) with an implantable microstructure (6, 7) for the stimulation of nerve or glial tissue, the interface being bidirectional. Thus, in addition to the control of nerve cells and drug application, it is also possible to monitor sensor signals and biophysical parameters of spontaneous activity registered at the implant site.
