We argue that a dedicated research program on 'working memory for movements' is long overdue

🚨New paper🚨
Neural manifolds went from a niche-y word to an ubiquitous term in systems neuro thanks to many interesting findings across fields. But like with any emerging term, people use it very differently.
Here, we clarify our take on the term, and review key findings & challenges rdcu.be/ex8hW

🧠What do random neural networks have in common with the motor cortex?
Turns out, a lot!
Both exhibit similar low‑dimensional dynamics across sensorimotor tasks.👇🧵

Want to hear more about how feedback can guide learning in RNNs for motor adaptation. Here is our new paper in Nat. Com. with Barbara Feulner and @juangallego.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...
A neural implementation model of feedback-based motor learning - Nature Communications
How the brain adapts our movements to new conditions remains unclear. Here, the authors show that a recurrent neural network that controls its output using error-based feedback can learn to count...

Can the motor system use sensory expectations to prepare for unexpected events?
Excited to share my latest work with @andpru.bsky.social – where we establish that sensory expectations shape neural population dynamics in motor circuits!
