NIH-funded research project awarded to University of California, Berkeley Lab to study feedback control principles in neural population dynamics using neural data analysis from monkey and rat cortex.
Description
Research project funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) to elucidate the control principles underlying neural population activity, focusing on feedback control as a normative principle. The study involves designing objective functions for extracting subspaces from neural data that are most feed-forward versus feedback controllable, developing theory and analysis methods to test this hypothesis in neural data from monkey and rat cortex during various tasks.
