Decoding the Secrets of Sensorimotor Learning and Neural Dynamics

Imagine you’re learning to ride a bike. Your brain is constantly processing information from your body and the environment to refine your motor skills. In a similar way, scientists are studying how our brains learn and adapt through implicit and explicit sensorimotor learning. By analyzing the neural dynamics, or the complex patterns of electrical activity […]

Nonlinear optimal control of a mean-field model of neural population dynamics

Imagine you have a fancy machine with two buttons, one that triggers lots of activity and one that calms it down. Now, to make things interesting, imagine that this machine represents a biophysically realistic model of the brain, consisting of excitatory and inhibitory neurons. Scientists are trying to figure out the most efficient way to […]
