News Finding: We found that subjects were able to more readily recombine familiar activity patterns in new ways relative to creating entirely novel patterns."
Paper Finding: 5 ).
News Context: "We found that the brain works in a similar way during learning. We found that subjects were able to more readily recombine familiar activity patterns in new ways relative to creating entirely novel patterns." "It helps scientists study the dynamics of brain circuits that may explain the neural basis of learning."
Paper Context: Fifth, hand movements were comparable and nearly non-existent for both perturbation types and should therefore have had no impact on learnability (Extended Data Fig. 5 ). We conclude from these analyses that the parsimonious explanation for BCI learning is whether or not the new control space is within the intrinsic manifold.
