Neuronal networks with strong recurrent connectivity provide the brain with a powerful
means to perform complex computational tasks. However, high-gain excitatory networks are …

This Perspective examines the status of large-scale cortical interfaces through the lens of
potential applications to active implants for brain-machine interfaces. Examples of research …

Brain function depends on neural communication, but the mechanisms of this
communication are not well understood. Recent studies suggest that one form of neural …

In order to deal with a complex environment, animals form a diverse range of neural
representations that vary across cortical areas, ranging from largely unimodal sensory input …

The insula plays a fundamental role in a wide range of adaptive human behaviors, but its
electrophysiological dynamics are poorly understood. Here, we used human intracranial …

Beta oscillations in human sensorimotor cortex are hallmark signatures of healthy and
pathological movement. In single trials, beta oscillations include bursts of intermittent …

In rodent motor cortex, the rostral forelimb area (RFA) and the caudal forelimb area (CFA)
are major actors in orchestrating the control of complex forelimb movements. However, their …

Populations of cortical neurons generate rhythmic fluctuations in their ongoing spontaneous
activity. These fluctuations can be seen in the local field potential (LFP), which reflects …

Studies of sensory-evoked neuronal responses often focus on mean spike rates, with
fluctuations treated as internally-generated noise. However, fluctuations of spontaneous …

The capabilities of transformer networks such as ChatGPT and other large language models
(LLMs) have captured the world's attention. The crucial computational mechanism …
