Significant experimental, computational, and theoretical work has identified rich structure
within the coordinated activity of interconnected neural populations. An emerging challenge …

The analysis of neural dynamics in several brain cortices has consistently uncovered low-
dimensional manifolds that capture a significant fraction of neural variability. These neural …

Animals readily execute learned behaviors in a consistent manner over long periods of time,
and yet no equally stable neural correlate has been demonstrated. How does the cortex …

Brain-machine interfaces (BMIs) combine methods, approaches, and concepts derived from
neurophysiology, computer science, and engineering in an effort to establish real-time …

The motor cortex controls skilled arm movement by sending temporal patterns of activity to
lower motor centres. Local cortical dynamics are thought to shape these patterns throughout …

The state of the brain and body constantly varies on rapid and slow timescales. These
variations contribute to the apparent noisiness of sensory responses at both the neural and …

Populations of cortical neurons flexibly perform different functions; for the primary motor
cortex (M1) this means a rich repertoire of motor behaviors. We investigate the flexibility of …

Nonhuman primate and human studies have suggested that populations of neurons in the
posterior parietal cortex (PPC) may represent high-level aspects of action planning that can …

Neuroprosthetics is a multidisciplinary field at the interface between neurosciences and
biomedical engineering, which aims at replacing or modulating parts of the nervous system …

This is a review of the proprioceptive senses generated as a result of our own actions. They
include the senses of position and movement of our limbs and trunk, the sense of effort, the …
