摘要：
神经系统的功能与功能障碍与神经状态的时间演变密切相关。当前在展示其因果作用方面的局限性，主要源于缺乏能够实时探测大脑内部状态的工具。这一空白限制了那些对推进基础和临床神经科学至关重要的实验范围。实时机器学习技术的最新进展，特别是在将神经时间序列作为非线性随机动力系统进行分析方面，正开始弥补这一空白。这些技术能够即时解释并与神经系统进行交互，为神经计算提供新见解。然而，仍存在若干重大挑战。收敛速度慢、高维数据复杂性、结构化噪声、不可识别性，以及普遍缺乏针对神经动力学量身定制的归纳偏置等问题是关键障碍。克服这些挑战对于充分实现实时神经数据分析至关重要，以用于神经计算的因果研究和基于高级扰动的脑机接口。在本文中，我们提供了对该领域现状的全面视角，重点关注这些持续存在的问题并概述了潜在的推进路径。我们强调大规模整合神经科学倡议的重要性以及元学习在克服这些挑战中的作用。这些方法代表了有前景的研究方向，可能重新定义神经科学实验和脑机接口的格局，促进在理解大脑功能和治疗神经疾病方面的突破。
英文摘要：
Function and dysfunctions of neural systems are tied to the temporal evolution of neural states. The current limitations in showing their causal role stem largely from the absence of tools capable of probing the brain's internal state in real-time. This gap restricts the scope of experiments vital for advancing both fundamental and clinical neuroscience. Recent advances in real-time machine learning technologies, particularly in analyzing neural time series as nonlinear stochastic dynamical systems, are beginning to bridge this gap. These technologies enable immediate interpretation of and interaction with neural systems, offering new insights into neural computation. However, several significant challenges remain. Issues such as slow convergence rates, high-dimensional data complexities, structured noise, non-identifiability, and a general lack of inductive biases tailored for neural dynamics are key hurdles. Overcoming these challenges is crucial for the full realization of real-time neural data analysis for the causal investigation of neural computation and advanced perturbation based brain machine interfaces. In this paper, we provide a comprehensive perspective on the current state of the field, focusing on these persistent issues and outlining potential paths forward. We emphasize the importance of large-scale integrative neuroscience initiatives and the role of meta-learning in overcoming these challenges. These approaches represent promising research directions that could redefine the landscape of neuroscience experiments and brain-machine interfaces, facilitating breakthroughs in understanding brain function, and treatment of neurological disorders.
