In order to analytizing neurons release pattern of the primary motor cortex of rats accurately and predicting corresponding body movement, the activities of the neurons ensemble spike activities in rats primary motor cortex and the forelimb pressure were recorded simultaneously in the experiment. K-means and principal component analysis were used to classification of neurons, then the partial least squares was used to analyze the relations between the neurons activities of the primary motor cortex of the rat and the forelimb motion parameters, and the results were compared with Wiener filter and Kalman filter. The experimental results indicate that the activities of neurons ensembles began a trend of increase 0.6 second before lever pressing, Which hints the neurons distributed activities of the primary motor cortex in rats can be used to analysis and prediction its forelimb movement and the correlation coefficient between the predicted value and real pressure value is more than 085 using the partial least squares, with a better decoding results than those using the Wiener filtering and Kalman filtering.
