The study of the cortical control of movement experienced a conceptual shift over recent
decades, as the basic currency of understanding shifted from single-neuron tuning towards …

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

The hand endows us with unparalleled precision and versatility in our interactions with
objects, from mundane activities such as gras** to extraordinary ones such as virtuoso …

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 …

Brain computer interfaces (BCI) provide a direct communication link between the brain and a
computer or other external devices. They offer an extended degree of freedom either by …

Brain computer interfaces (BCI) for the rehabilitation of motor impairments exploit
sensorimotor rhythms (SMR) in the electroencephalogram (EEG). However, the …

Classification of electroencephalogram-based motor imagery (MI-EEG) tasks is crucial in
brain–computer interface (BCI). EEG signals require a large number of channels in the …

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 …

Perceptions, thoughts, and actions unfold over millisecond timescales, while learned
behaviors can require many days to mature. While recent experimental advances enable …

Statistical regularities in the environment create prior beliefs that we rely on to optimize our
behavior when sensory information is uncertain. Bayesian theory formalizes how prior …
