Recent progress in electronic skin or e‐skin research is broadly reviewed, focusing on
technologies needed in three main applications: skin‐attachable electronics, robotics, and …

Invasive brain–machine interfaces can restore motor, sensory and cognitive functions.
However, their clinical adoption has been hindered by the surgical risk of implantation and …

In the mammalian nervous system, billions of neurons connected by quadrillions of
synapses exchange electrical, chemical and mechanical signals. Disruptions to this network …

To understand how function arises from the interactions between neurons, it is necessary to
use methods that allow the monitoring of brain activity at the single-neuron, single-spike …

Sequences of motor activity are encoded in many vertebrate brains by complex spatio-
temporal patterns of neural activity; however, the neural circuit mechanisms underlying the …

Studies of neuronal activity throughout the brain predominantly rely on extracellular
recordings of spiking activity. These records often contain action potentials from more than …

The voices of birds have always been a source of fascination. Nature's Music brings together
some of the world's experts on birdsong, to review the advances that have taken place in our …

Recent studies have demonstrated prominent and widespread movement-related signals in
the brain of head-fixed mice, even in primary sensory areas. However, it is still unknown …

Brain mechanisms for communication must establish a correspondence between sensory
and motor codes used to represent the signal. One idea is that this correspondence is …

Songbirds learn their songs by trial-and-error experimentation, producing highly variable
vocal output as juveniles. By comparing their own sounds to the song of a tutor, young …
