Paper Finding: To regain proficient control of the cursor under a within-manifold perturbation, the animals had to learn new associations between the natural co-modulation patterns and the cursor kinematics (Fig.

Paper Context: In both cases, performance was impaired once the new mapping was introduced, and we observed whether the monkeys could learn to regain proficient control of the cursor. To regain proficient control of the cursor under a within-manifold perturbation, the animals had to learn new associations between the natural co-modulation patterns and the cursor kinematics (Fig. Just after the perturbed mappings were introduced, BCI performance was impaired ( Fig.
