Neural interfaceswith capabilities such as multi-channel neural recording, on-site signal processing, rapid symptom detection, and closed-loop stimulation are crucial for enabling these innovative treatments. However, current closed-loop neural interfaces are limited by their simplicity and lack of sufficient on-chip processing and intelligence. This dissertation focuses on the development of next-generation neural decoders for closed-loop neural interfaces, utilizing on-chip machine learning to detect and suppress symptoms of neurological disorders. These neural decoders offer high versatility, low power consumption, minimal on-chip area, and robustness against neural signal fluctuations. Chapter 2 explores migraine state classification using somatosensory evoked potentials, an emerging application for neural interfaces. In Chapter 3, we introduce a resource-efficient oblique tree model that enables low-power, memory-efficient classifiers for realtime neurological disease detection and motor decoding. Chapter 4 presents a novel Tree in Tree decision graph model with applicability beyond neural data, demonstrating success in general tabular prediction tasks. In Chapter 5, we propose an adaptive machine learning-based decoder to compensate for fluctuations in neural signals during test time. The dissertation concludes with a discussion of future research directions for on-chip neural decoders.enIntegrated CircuitMachine LearningNeural InterfacesNeurological Disorderdissertation or thesishttps://doi.org/10.7298/h6sz-ga92
