Deep learning technology is generally applied to analyze periodic data, such as the data of electromyography (EMG) and acoustic signals. Conversely, its accuracy is compromised when applied to the anomalous and irregular nature of the data obtained using a magneto-impedance (MI) sensor. Thus, we propose and analyze a deep learning model based on recurrent neural networks (RNNs) optimized for the MI sensor, such that it can detect and classify data that are relatively irregular and diverse compared to the EMG and acoustic signals.

Here, a novel hybrid bionic interface is presented, fabricated by integrating a biological interface (regenerative peripheral nerve interface (RPNI)) and a peripheral neural interface to enhance the neural interface performance between a nerve and bionic limbs. This interface utilizes a shape memory polymer buckle that can be easily implanted on a severed nerve and make contact with both the nerve and the muscle graft after RPNI formation.

The MI sensor is a passive sensor that detects metal objects and magnetic field changes. However, when detecting a metal object, the amount of change in the magnetic field caused by the metal is small and unstable with noise.

A network was constructed using Neg-Region Attention (NRA), which predicts objects with a concentrated line of sight using deep learning techniques. The existing deep learning-based method has an autoencoder structure, which causes feature loss during the encoding process of compressing and extracting features from the image and the decoding process of expanding and restoring.
