Latent factors and dynamics in motor cortex and their application to brain–machine interfaces
In the 1960s, Evarts first recorded the activity of single neurons in motor cortex of behaving
monkeys. In the 50 years since, great effort has been devoted to understanding how single …

[HTML][HTML] Working memory: from neural activity to the sentient mind
RJ Jaffe, C Constantinidis - Comprehensive Physiology, 2021 - ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
Working memory is the ability to maintain and manipulate information in the conscious mind
over a timescale of seconds. This ability is thought to be maintained through the persistent …

Implicit mechanisms of intention
High-level cortical regions encode motor decisions before or even absent awareness,
suggesting that neural processes predetermine behavior before conscious choice. Such …

Single-trial decoding of intended eye movement goals from lateral prefrontal cortex neural ensembles
CB Boulay, F Pieper, M Leavitt… - Journal of …, 2016 - journals.physiology.org
Neurons in the lateral prefrontal cortex (LPFC) encode sensory and cognitive signals, as
well as commands for goal-directed actions. Therefore, the LPFC might be a good signal …
