contents In a recent paper [Bardella et al., Entropy 26 (6), 495 (2024)] we introduced a simplified Lattice Field Theory (LFT) framework that allows experimental recordings from major Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) to be interpreted in a simple and physically grounded way. From a neuroscience point of view, our method modifies the Maximum Entropy model for neural networks so that also the time evolution of the system is taken into account and it can be interpreted as another version of the Free Energy principle (FEP). This framework is naturally tailored to interpret recordings from chronic multi-site BCIs, especially spike rasters from measurements of single neuron activity.
