News Finding: Because the existing brain patterns likely reflect how the neurons are interconnected, the results suggest that the connectivity among neurons shapes learning.
Paper Finding: An outsidemanifold perturbation was created by re-orienting the intuitive control space and allowing it to depart from the intrinsic manifold (depicted as the blue line in Fig.
News Context: The harder-to-learn patterns were different from any of the pre-existing patterns, whereas the easier-to-learn patterns were combinations of pre-existing brain patterns. Because the existing brain patterns likely reflect how the neurons are interconnected, the results suggest that the connectivity among neurons shapes learning. Byron M. Yu, assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering and biomedical engineering at Carnegie Mellon, believes this work demonstrates the utility of BCI for basic scientific studies that will eventually impact people's lives.
Paper Context: This preserved the relationship between neural units and comodulation patterns, but it altered the way in which co-modulation patterns affected cursor kinematics (red arrows, Fig. An outsidemanifold perturbation was created by re-orienting the intuitive control space and allowing it to depart from the intrinsic manifold (depicted as the blue line in Fig. This altered the way in which neural units contributed to co-modulation patterns, but it preserved the way in which comodulation patterns affected cursor kinematics (blue arrows, Fig.
