The population doctrine in cognitive neuroscience
A major shift is happening within neurophysiology: a population doctrine is drawing level
with the single-neuron doctrine that has long dominated the field. Population-level ideas …

Going beyond primary motor cortex to improve brain–computer interfaces
Brain–computer interfaces (BCIs) for movement restoration typically decode the user's intent
from neural activity in their primary motor cortex (M1) and use this information to enable …

Preserved neural dynamics across animals performing similar behaviour
Animals of the same species exhibit similar behaviours that are advantageously adapted to
their body and environment. These behaviours are shaped at the species level by selection …

Motor cortex activity across movement speeds is predicted by network-level strategies for generating muscle activity
Learned movements can be skillfully performed at different paces. What neural strategies
produce this flexibility? Can they be predicted and understood by network modeling? We …

Motor cortex retains and reorients neural dynamics during motor imagery
The most prominent characteristic of motor cortex is its activation during movement
execution, but it is also active when we simply imagine movements in the absence of actual …

Rotational dynamics in motor cortex are consistent with a feedback controller
Recent studies have identified rotational dynamics in motor cortex (MC), which many
assume arise from intrinsic connections in MC. However, behavioral and neurophysiological …
