This award funds research to understand neural population activity by investigating feedback control as a normative principle of neural dynamics, using data from multiple brain regions and tasks.
Description
The research aims to elucidate the control principles underlying neural population dynamics, hypothesizing that feedback control is a normative principle. The project involves designing objective functions to extract subspaces from neural population data that are most feed-forward vs. feedback controllable, tested in neural population data from various brain regions during specific tasks.
