The ECPNN-EF with partially connected topology decoded the instantaneous firing rates of each sorted unit into forelimb movement of a rat.

Main Results: The ECPNN-EF under different settings was evaluated to better understand the impact of the error feedback and partially connected topology.

Significance: These results suggested that the ECPNN-EF with partially connected topology could cope with both within- and across-day changes in neural recording conditions.
